background
In March 2015, Spears announced that she was recording new material for her next album. It was initially announced that the song would be released in May 2016 and that she would sing it at the Billboard Music Awards before her album was released in June. At the awards, the singer earned applause and positive criticism for her hit medley a. a. from Womanizer , I'm A Slave 4 U and Toxic , but the new single didn't premiere. Due to production difficulties, the release of the song - at the time entitled Make Me (Ooh) - was postponed to summer 2016. The song with the final title Make Me ... was finally made available for download from iTunes on July 14, 2016 and quickly reached number 1 on the iTunes charts in 45 countries.
Music video
The music video for Make Me… was shot by David LaChapelle , who was responsible for the video for Spears' 2004 single Everytime . Filming began on June 2, 2016.

In France (11th place), Canada (20th place), Switzerland (58th place), Austria (61st place) and Germany (71st place), the song only reached moderate chart positions immediately after it was released for download.
