Ring My Bell is a 1979 disco song written by Frederick Knight and performed by Anita Ward.
"Ring My Bell" went to number one in June 1979 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the Disco Top 80 chart and the Soul Singles chart. It also reached number one on the UK singles chart. The song's popularity lead to Ward's nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 1980 Grammy Awards.
The song was originally written for eleven-year-old Stacy Lattisaw as a teenybopper song about children talking on the telephone. When Lattisaw signed with a different label, American singer and musician Anita Ward was asked to sing it instead, and it became her only major hit.
