Lizzo Unveils “Don’t Make Me Love U” With Past-Self Showdown Video

The release signals a new chapter that foregrounds self-reflection through a doppelgänger concept.

Overview

  • Released on March 20, the single arrived with a Tanner K Williams–directed video that places Lizzo opposite an earlier version of herself.
  • Ricky Reed and Cheche Alara produced the track, marking a reunion with longtime collaborators.
  • Stereogum reports the song interpolates Tina Turner’s The Best and Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer, leading to nine credited writers.
  • The track is out via Nice Life/Atlantic, according to industry reporting.
  • Lizzo previously previewed the song on SNL last year and sang an a cappella snippet on Late Night With Seth Meyers in February after announcing it on social media this week.
