"Bend Me, Shape Me" is a song written by Scott English and Larry Weiss.

[3] The American Breed's 2:05 single mix of this song was sped-up during mastering for release, while the widely available original 2:25 version was done at a normal speed.

The following year, The American Breed released their last single, "Anyway That You Want Me", which borrowed its title phrase from "Bend Me, Shape Me".

Co-songwriter Scott English later went on to write and sing "Brandy", which Barry Manilow later covered as his 1974 breakout hit "Mandy".

[19][20] There was also a hit disco single on Ariola/Hansa by Austrian singer Gilla in 1978,[21] which she also performed in a medley with Boney M.[22]
