A rhythmic and lyrical push and pull in which Dean describes her journey to the studio to find the perfect melody and beat, the song references "Rock the Boat" (2001) by American R&B singer Aaliyah.
Released as Dean's debut single, "Make Me a Song" peaked at number 99 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
[1] "Make Me a Song" was written by Candice Nelson, Walter "Lil Walt" Millsap and Timbaland for Kiley Dean's unreleased debut album Simple Girl.
Due to the inclusion of the sample, Stephen "Static Major" Garrett, Eric Seats, and Rapture Stewart are also credited as songwriters.
It also references to Aaliyah's "Young Nation", Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On", Tweet's "Call Me" and Bubba Sparxxx's "Hootnanny".
