It contains an interpolation from "We're Going to a Party" (1977) by [Evelyn "Champagne" King](/source/Evelyn_%22Champagne%22_King). Written by [Lucas Secon](/source/Lucas_Secon), [Makeba Riddick](/source/Makeba_Riddick), Joseph Freeman, Aubreya Gravatt, Theodore Life, Jr. and produced by Lucas Secon for Braxton's sixth studio album ''[Pulse](/source/Pulse_(Toni_Braxton_album))'' (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](/source/Pulse_(Toni_Braxton_album)) [BBC.co.uk](/source/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."{{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}} [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)'s Andy Kellman described the song as "a rapturous club track put over the top by some of Braxton’s most athletic vocals."{{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}} ==Release and promotion== "Make My Heart" was released on February 23, 2010 to iTunes.
