"Made in England" is the title track from English singer Elton John's 24th studio album, Made in England (1995). It is an autobiographical telling of his growing up, parts of his life, and what life is like in England. The song peaked at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart and number five on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart, topping the RPM Adult Contemporary chart for one week. In the United States the song peaked at number 52 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 12 on the BillboardAdult Contemporary chart.
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "In the past the inscription was found on the back of a Matchbox or a Dinky Toy. Elton puts it differently by singing he was made in England like the Cortina. Who cares, all these cars roll. But what's more, the song rocks too!" That aspect also instantly struck Norwegian Radio 102/Haugesund head of music Egil Houeland. He said, "After a whole string of ballads it's interesting to see Elton return with a solid uptempo rocker. He can still do it."[1]
