"Made for Lovin' You" is a song recorded by American recording artist Anastacia for her debut album Not That Kind (2000). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on June 25, 2001, by Daylight Records and Epic Records. The song was used in the United Kingdom for a Honda advertising campaign.

Critical reception

[edit]

Tricia Boey of MTVAsia.com compared this song: "with its synthetic bass lines is another track also streaked with Whitney Houston overtones."[1]

Composition

[edit]

Written in the key of D♯, "Made For Lovin' You" is mainly based on the chord progression A♯m–G♯–D♯, going to F every 6 bars. Opening with a distorted whispering voice, the song features a heavy synth bassline,[1] with other sounds including a basic keyboard and brass hits. The bridge's chord sequence changes to G♯–D♯–A♯, before building up to the final chorus. The Tin Tin Out mix includes a break in the final chorus in which all the instruments except percussion drop out for 8 bars, leaving the vocals reminiscent of a gospel choir. The song ends with a fade-out.

Music video

[edit]

The video consists of several live performances Anastacia had given since her debut. It is a montage with scenes from Rock am Ring, a music festival from Germany where Anastacia performed in 2001. The video also includes footage from concert performances from the Netherlands, UK and other public appearances.
