"'''Make My Heart'''" is a song by American singer Toni Braxton. It contains an interpolation from "We're Going to a Party" (1977) by Evelyn "Champagne" King. Written by Lucas Secon, Makeba Riddick, Joseph Freeman, Aubreya Gravatt, Theodore Life, Jr. and produced by Lucas Secon for Braxton's sixth studio album ''Pulse'' (2010), it was released on February 23, 2010 as the album's third and final single.
==Critical reception== In a review of the album Pulse BBC.co.uk stated "The brass-infused Make My Heart sees Braxton singing higher than her comfortable range, and Lookin’ At Me draws too obviously on Beyoncé's Halo, feeling similarly redundant for its too-high vocal and artificially-placed focus on young lust. These poppier tracks feel gratuitous, thrown in for measure to attract the younger crowd."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Shaw|first1=Natalie|title=Toni Braxton Pulse Album Review|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/dqrj/|website=BBC|publisher=BBC|accessdate=July 21, 2016}}</ref> AllMusic's Andy Kellman described the song as "a rapturous club track put over the top by some of Braxton’s most athletic vocals."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kellman|first1=Andy|title=Pulse by Toni Braxton Music Review|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/pulse-mw0001961106|website=AllMusic|accessdate=May 4, 2010}}</ref>
