Make Your Move (song)

Written by Mac Powell and composed by Third Day, the song was released was serviced to Christian CHR radio in the United States on January 30, 2011, as the third single from the band's 2010 album Move.

A southern rock song, "Make You Move" features a heavy kick drum and grunge-influenced chorus, while the vocals are distorted during the bridge and take on a muffled effect.

[8] Andrew Greer of Christianity Today commented that "['Make Your Move'] uses a distorted vocal bridge and grungy half-time chorus groove to depict evangelism from a non-believer's perspective",[6] while Glen McCarty of Crosswalk.com stated the song "is propelled by a thudding kick drum"[5] while also regarding it as "tightly-constructed".

[5] Lindsay Williams of Gospel Music Channel commented that "Mac Powell’s smoky vocals take on a muffled effect that is both modern and vintage at the same time".

[1] John DiBiase of Jesus Freak Hideout opined that "'Make Your Move' has that edgy, gutsy rock attitude that "You Make Me Mad" had on Conspiracy No.

[10] "Make Your Move" spent ten weeks on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart, peaking at number forty-three.

Third Day later released the live recording, along with the rest of the concert, with all proceeds going toward relief for the tornado that had struck Joplin several months earlier.

[16] At a concert as part of their Make Your Move Tour in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania on November 6, 2011, Third Day opened their performance with the song.
