Lukas Wullaert / Writing
The title came first, and the chorus followed. “You make me wanna” had it all: catchy, familiar and sexy, without giving too much away.
The sentence is unfinished, but you instinctively fill in the rest the first time you hear it. You know exactly what it means, because you’ve felt it before.
“Four words.
Everything we wanted to say.”
Maxine Meyer / The debut
I wanted people to feel my passion. Something a little sexy, but familiar enough to see themselves in. As soon as I heard “You make me wanna”, I knew it was the one.
Maxine Meyer / The feeling
It’s that thought you have about someone but don’t quite dare to say out loud. You find them incredibly sexy. You want more, but nothing has happened yet.
For me, it’s about anticipation. The tension, the curiosity, the ache of wanting someone and having to wait.
A line, up close
Maxine Meyer
That line captures the whole feeling. You want them to stop holding back and make a move, because you haven’t quite found the courage to do it yourself.
“Tonight you’re mine” is also a quiet “stay with me, don’t go.” You want it to happen before the moment slips away, even if you can only bring yourself to hint at it.
Shadows dancing
Eyes romancing
Feel my nails running down your back
Mm-mm
Now I'm lost in the thought of you
Take my hand and I'll take you to
To a place that's just for two
Baby
Oh
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Oh
Oh
Midnight come
Come
Come
Come
One on one
Pull me in and put your lips on mine
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Oh
Oh
Don't be shy
Tonight you're mine
So come at me
And grab on tight
Tight
Tight
Tight
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Wanna
You make me wanna
Oh
Oh
