"Made for Lovin' You" is a song by American recording artist Anastacia from her debut album, Not That Kind. It was released as the album's fourth and final single in mid-2001. The song was used in the United Kingdom for the Honda advertising campaign.

Critical reception[]

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

Composition[]

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[]

The video consists of several live performances Anastacia has given since her debut. It is a montage with scenes from Rock am Ring, a music festival from Germany where Anastacia performed in 2001. Then you can see scenes from a concert she gave in the Netherlands and one she gave in the UK, as well as some other public appearances.
