In the 35^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2024), we break down “Made For Me” performed by Muni Long.

“The smell of your perfume / I thought I was immune / Lookin’ around this room / Can’t help but see the traces of you…” “Made For Me” was a hit for Grammy-winning R&B singer, Muni Long (Priscilla Renae). It peaked respectably at no. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2024 after being released in September 2023. This beautiful, emotional ballad was written by Long, Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, and Jordan XL. Furthermore, it was produced by Dupri, Cox, and Jordan XL.  The instrumental thrives thanks to warm, gorgeous piano lines, slick, rhythmic drum programming, and ‘classic,’ classy contemporary R&B cues.

Muni Long, of course, slays in the vocal department. She sounds authentic, refined, and soulful.  Like in the first verse (excerpted above), she’s deeply affected by love.  “It ain’t every day / That I get in my feelings this way,” she sings, adding, “Don’t know what I would do / If I had to go on without you.” The section to beat, unsurprisingly, is the chorus, with passionate vocals and sublime use of vocal layering.

“Nobody knows me like you do

Nobody gon’ love me quite like you

Can’t even deny it, every time I try it

One look in my eyes, you know I’m lyin’, lyin’

…You were made for me…”

All told, “Made For Me” is an awesome R&B song.  It’s well-performed, well-produced, and well-written. Muni Long did that!
