"I Was Made for Lovin' You" is a song by American hard rock band Kiss, originally released on their 1979 album, Dynasty.

[4] At first Desmond Child said, "Paul wanted to write a good disco song and I decided to help him with that.

As with most of the Dynasty album, session drummer Anton Fig took his place, as Poncia had deemed Criss unfit to play.

"I Was Made for Lovin' You" was Kiss's first songwriting collaboration with Desmond Child, who also wrote songs for the albums Animalize, Asylum, Crazy Nights, Smashes, Thrashes & Hits, and Hot in the Shade.

Billboard described "I Was Made for Lovin' You" as a "catchy song" which is more melodic than previous Kiss efforts and that incorporates some disco influence and "heavy guitars.

They'll demand to know why their heroes, after years of rallying the troops into battle against disco and other threatening schlock, have turned tail and joined forces with uptown popsters like producer Vini Poncia (whose soft-rock credentials include LPs by Ringo Starr and Melissa Manchester) and singer/tunesmith Desmond Child (who cowrote the offending song with Kiss’ Paul Stanley).

"[17] Lance Tawzer, curator of a museum exhibit chronicling the infamous Disco Demolition Night riot of 1979, suggested this song may have helped inspire that event, telling the Chicago Tribune, "That's Kiss' disco song, 'I Was Made for Lovin' You... That's the moment when they jumped that shark.

A cover version of the song by German musical group Scooter was released as a double A-side with "We Are the Greatest" on September 21, 1998.

Puerto Rican boy band Menudo covered the song in Spanish as "Fui Hecho Para Amarte" on their Xanadu album during 1981.

While reviewing Border Girl, Jose F. Promis of AllMusic selected the song as a highlight, calling it "almost unbelievably" as emblematic as the original version.

[68] Australian singer Ricki-Lee Coulter released a version produced by DNA on March 1, 2024 as the fourth single from her fifth studio album, On My Own.

[69] British singer-songwriter Yungblud covered the song for the 2024 film The Fall Guy in April of the same year.
