About Make Me...

"Make Me..." is the first single released by American singer Britney Spears for her ninth studio album, Glory (2016). It features the vocal collaboration of American rapper G-Eazy. The track was written by Spears, Matthew Burns, Joe Janiak and Gerald Gillum, while produced by Burns, with Mischke serving as a vocal producer. "Make Me..." was released as the album's lead-single on July 15, 2016, after being previously delayed due to reported production difficulties. Described as a "slinky" midtempo R&B-influenced ballad, the recording incorporates "raw" guitar riffs, "snare slaps", "whooshing synths" and a "dub step-esque boom-bap" in its instrumentation. Lyrically, the song talks about demanding sexual satisfaction. The song received generally favorable reviews from critics. Commercially, the song reached top-ten peaks in Finland, Hungary, and Israel while reaching top-twenty in Canada, France, Scotland, top forty in Australia and in the United States where it charted at number seventeen on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the dance club chart. As of April 2018, "Make Me" was certified platinum by the RIAA for combined sales and streams of 1 million units in the US. The first version of the song's music video, directed by David LaChapelle, was shelved. Subsequently, a Randee St. Nicholas-directed music video was released on August 5, 2016. "Make Me..." was added to Spears' residency show Britney: Piece of Me, which was performed by Spears and G-Eazy at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards and the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival.

Friday, I'm dreaming a mile a minute 'bout somebody
This feeling, I wanna go with it, 'cause there's no way
We're hiding away from this tonight, oh, this tonight
Can tell you want me
By the way I see you starin' 'cross the room, babe
No shame in the game
Just cut the shit, be honest
Yeah, you know what you gotta do tonight, do tonight
I just want you to make me move
Like it ain't a choice for you, like you got a job to do
Just want you to raise my roof
Something sensational (sensational, oh yeah)
And make me ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And make me ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

No rules
From the bar to the car, let's take it back to my room
Igniting the heat of the moment, let the sparks fuse
Blowing up to the ceiling, we're burning bright
When we cross the line
'Cause you're the flame I can't do without
The fire comes in the sapphire sun
There's no way I'm gonna be fighting this tonight, this tonight
I just want you to make me move
Like it ain't a choice for you, like you got a job to do
Just want you to raise my roof
Something sensational seansational, oh yeah)
And make me ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And make me ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Baby, 'cause you're the spark that won't go out
My heart's on fire when you're around
Make me ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Yeah, Eazy)

I don't care if it's a random person or the biggest star
Out in Vegas or little bars
Really not a difference if it's near or far
Listen, here we are, need you
I've always wondered what was off limits
Staring at you til I'm caught in this
Back and forth like this was all tennis
I'm all jealous, you came with someone
But we could tell that there's changes coming
See I could tell that you're a dangerous woman
That means you're speaking my language, come on
Now follow me, let's go
Like Penelope in Blow
Well worth the stealing you, it's a felony, yeah I know
That's why they keep on telling me to let go, yeah
But I need you and I can take you
All the way and I'm able
To give you something sensational, so let's go, yeah
Said I need you and I can take you
All the way and I'm able
So follow me and I can make you
And make me ooh (move), ooh, ooh (yeah), ooh
And make me ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Baby, 'cause you're the spark that won't go out
My heart's on fire when you're around
Make me ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, you make me ooh
