"Made for Me" is a single by American singer and songwriter Muni Long, released on September 25, 2023. It was written alongside producers Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, and JordanXL.
The song is an R&B ballad with piano, drum machine and bass. Lyrically, Muni Long expresses her love for her partner and emphasizes their compatibility: "Nobody knows me like you do / Nobody don't love me quite like you can / Can't even deny it / Every time I try it / One look in my eyes, you know I'm lying". [1] [2] [3]
The song received generally positive reviews. Music critics have described it as "nostalgic" and "sweet". [1] [2] Tallie Spencer of HotNewHipHop described the song as "infectious and guaranteed to have you put it on repeat for hours and hours at a time" and called it "an example of a track that speaks to her talents as a singer and songwriter." [1] Butta of Soul Bounce wrote of the song, "The songwriting, sound and singing are all top-notch and the musical equivalent of a chef's kiss." [3]
An official music video premiered on January 17, 2024. Directed by Des Gray and Trinidad James, it sees Muni Long as a scientist building a replica of an ideal man, who is played by singer Luke James. Long has explained, "I wanted to have fun with this video and really think outside of the box. It's my little nod to A.I. mixed with Frankenstein. If you want to find the perfect person in a limited dating pool, you might just have to create them! It's only science fiction for now but with how fast technology is changing could this be our reality someday?" [4] [5]
In January 2024, the song achieved virality on the video-sharing platform TikTok, beginning when a woman named Milck Marie used the song in several videos, in which she would sing the pre-chorus ("Twin, where have you been?") and lip-sync the chorus. [6]
