"Why Me?" is a song by British television presenting duo PJ & Duncan, released in April 1994 by Telstar Records as the second single from their debut album, Psyche (1994).

Critical reception
[edit]Mark Frith from Smash Hits gave the song a score of four out of five, writing, "In which PJ and Duncan listen to 'Jump' by Kris Kross a few too many times and try a similar chanted thing with piano samples running through and a chant of why me?. Every idea on it belongs to someone else but for some reason the whole thing really works. A fun, exciting happening record only let down by slightly weak lead vocals and the occasional crap harmonies. Not a hit 'cause radio stations won't touch it but it actually deserves to be one!"[1]
