Meghan Trainor achieved commercial success with her debut major-label studio album, Title (2015), [1] which produced three top-10 singles on the US Billboard Hot 100. [2] She struggled while creating her third album on a label, Treat Myself (2020), rewriting it four times in an attempt to respond to market shifts in the music industry after the preceding singles underperformed. [3] After the song "Title" attained viral popularity on video-sharing service TikTok in 2021, Trainor announced her intention to pivot to its doo-wop sound on her fifth major-label studio album. She stated that the elevated emotions and strength from her pregnancy helped her build trust in her songwriting instincts. [4] TikTok was highly influential on Trainor's creative process for the album, and she began writing material that would resonate with audiences on it. [5] She gained popularity on the platform while regularly sharing clips and other content with influencer Chris Olsen. [6] Trainor released the single "Bad for Me" in June 2022. [7]

Trainor wrote "Made You Look" alongside songwriter Sean Douglas and its producer, Federico Vindver. [8] As part of an exercise, her therapist asked her to look at herself naked for five minutes. This, along with her body image insecurities after pregnancy, inspired the song. [9] Trainor came up with the lines "I'll make you double take / Soon as I walk away / Call up your chiropractor just in case your neck break", as a reference to how her husband, Daryl Sabara, bends his neck to look at her when she leaves a room. Other lyrics were inspired by the things he does to treat her well. [10] Wanting to create another "self-confident banger that [she] always do[es] on [her] albums", Trainor studied the relatability of her song "All About That Bass" (2014) while writing the track. [11]

"Made You Look" was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio stations in the United States, as the second single from Takin' It Back (2022), on October 31, 2022. [10] [12] The song was sent for radio airplay in Italy on November 18, 2022. [13] On December 9, 2022, its a cappella version, featuring guest vocals from Olsen, Scott Hoying, and influencers Elyse Myers and Sri, was released alongside an accompanying music video. [14] "Made You Look" was supported by a Joel Corry remix on December 31, 2022, and its instrumental and sped-up versions in January 2023. [15] [16] [17] On January 27, the song's remix version featuring Kim Petras was released and serviced for radio airplay in Italy. [18] [19] Petras added new ad libs and high notes during her verse on it. She recorded her vocals in Trainor's home studio, and recalled the experience: "I had 'Made You Look' stuck in my head for months, [...] then when I got asked to jump on it, I was really, really excited. I've never worked with an artist who wanted to track me and comp my vocals and do it all together." [20] [21]

"Made You Look" is two minutes and 14 seconds long. [22] Vindver produced, programmed, and engineered the song. He plays the keyboards and percussion, Jesse McGinty plays the baritone saxophone and trombone, and Mike Cordone plays the trumpet. Jeremie Inhaber mixed the song, and Randy Merrill mastered it at Sterling Sound in New York City. [8]

Musically, "Made You Look" is a doo-wop song, [23] [24] which recalls earlier styles of popular music. [25] Vindver incorporated horns into the song's instrumentation to achieve the style. [10] Along with layered harmonies, it prominently features the bass and brass instruments, which Riff's Piper Westrom thought are reminiscent of the sound of Title. [26] "Made You Look" has a call and response hook; Peter Piatkowski of PopMatters described it as a "spiritual sequel" to "All About That Bass" due to their shared "pouty, surly delivery and the girl group arrangement". [27] [28]

The lyrics of "Made You Look" discuss the theme of self-love; Trainor encourages her female listeners to champion their natural beauty and confidence. [10] [27] She namechecks high-end luxury fashion houses, including Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and insists she looks better donning just her hoodie and "hotter when [her] morning hair's a mess". [10] [29] Trainor declares that onlookers would find her walk jaw-dropping and become obsessed with her once they "get a taste"; she also uses the slang term "14-karat cake" to refer to her backside. [29] [30]

Critical reception

Music critics compared "Made You Look" to Trainor's past songs. Writing for Far Out , Tyler Golsen believed it achieved the right balance between nostalgia for her early music and older pop music in general. Although he refused to call "Made You Look" a good song and stated he probably would not listen to it again, he thought it was "certainly [...] a Meghan Trainor song" and praised her branding efforts. [25] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine cited the song's inclusion of fashion house names as an example of moments on Takin' It Back where her devotion to bringing back Title's spirit means "that the attitude and melody can occasionally seem preserved in amber". [31] Rolling Stone placed it at number 69 on their list of 2022's best songs, and Tomás Mier positively compared it to Trainor's previous work and praised the "unforgettable lyrics and catchy production". [32]

The flirtatious approach of "Made You Look" was discussed by critics. Martina Inchingolo of the Associated Press thought Trainor sounded "loud[er] and sexier" on the song. [33] Writing for Renowned for Sound , Max Akass believed she displayed a "cheeky, flirty attitude" on it, which made for uncomplicated but efficacious pop music. [34] Mier wrote that Petras delivered a "welcome sexy verse" on her remix of "Made You Look". [20]

"Made You Look" was Trainor's highest-charting single in years, which some media outlets referred to as a "comeback" for her.
