"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." AllMusic's Andy Kellman described the song as "a rapturous club track put over the top by some of Braxton’s most athletic vocals."

Release and promotion

"Make My Heart" was released on February 23, 2010 to iTunes. That same day, two remix EPs were released to promote the song.

Braxton performed "Make My Heart" on The Wendy Williams Show on February 11, 2010 and The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 27, 2010.

Music video

The music video for "Make My Heart" was directed by Bille Woodruff and shot back-to-back with the video for "Hands Tied," also directed by Woodruff. It was premiered on April 13, 2010. Braxton's sisters Towanda Braxton, Tamar Braxton, Traci Braxton, and Trina Braxton make cameo appearances in the video.
