"Make Me" (alternatively written as Make Me...) is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears featuring American rapper G-Eazy for her upcoming ninth studio album. It was written by Spears and G-Eazy along with Joe Janiak and Matthew Burns, who also served as its producer.

Background and release
"Make Me" was written by Spears, Burns, Joe Janiak and G-Eazy, while produced by Burns.

Composition
"Make Me" is a slow-tempo pop and R&B song. Spears sings over guitar riffs and synthesizers. After the pre-chorus, the song explodes into a simple and euphoric chorus of "ooohs".

Critics found "Make Me" to be a musical departure from her previous lead singles. Gerrick D. Kennedy of the Los Angeles Times stated that since the beginning of her career, Spears has launched every project with a "massive banger" and with "Make Me" she ventures "outside her trusted formula [...] craft[ing] a lush, down-tempo bedroom number that largely eschews the Vocoder and Auto-Tune effects that have dotted her most recent work." Kennedy also said that Spears convingly flirts with "sensual R&B" for the first time in years. Michael Cragg of The Guardian described it as an "aim at a current pop zeitgeist – that of the mood-drenched, slowed down sex jam" as well as naming it "by far the slowest and most restrained Britney lead single."

"Make Me" lyrically features the protagonist singing to a lover. "Can you tell you want me by the way I see you staring across the room," In the pre-chorus, Spears sings “I just want you to make me move / Like it ain't a choice for you, like you got a job to do / Just want you to raise my roof,”

G-Eazy is featured in a brief verse, rapping lyrics such as "I always wanted what was off-limits" and "I can tell that you're a dangerous woman."

Critical response
Gerrick D. Kennedy of the Los Angeles Times praised the song as a musical return to form for Spears, adding that she "sounds better than she has in years, commanding the track with a warm tone that at least doesn't feel dependent on studio wizards to make her sound alive." Michael Cragg of The Guardian said that Spears "walks away a clear victor" with "Make Me" and stated that its "brilliance is a slow caress to the face rather than a sweaty slap." However, he called the G-Eazy verse "superfluous [...] proving that actually some things in pop never change."
