It was released on March 30, 2010 in the United States, as the band's debut single. The intro of the song features a reworked sample of Abba's song Lay All Your Love On Me.
Background
In 2010, The song was used during the end credits of Kick-Ass and also appears on the film's soundtrack. Also in 2010, the song was used during the second season trailer of The Vampire Diaries. On November 5, 2010, The song was used during the ninth episode of Gossip Girl's fourth season, "The Witches of Bushwick". It was playing when Jenny (Taylor's character) as "Serena" pulled the curtain down to reveal Blair and Chuck talking together.
Critical reception
Nick Levine of Digital Spy Blog gave the song a positive review stating:
Serious Music Fans, prepare to sneer like Kenneth Williams when Babs let out a silent 'n' deadly in his dressing room... The Pretty Reckless are a New York rawk band fronted by a 16-year-old teen TV star whose debut single has been lifted from the soundtrack to an action flick written by Jonathan Ross's wife. Who says punk is dead?
Thing is though, 'Make Me Wanna Die' is actually a bit of a blast. To be precise, it's a great big slab of angsty grunge-pop with a screechalong chorus, some nice jaggedy guitar riffs and production as glossy/grungey as its singer's peroxide blonde dye job. As for that singer - Taylor Momsen, name fans - well, she gives good enough 'tude here to suggest those Serious Music Fans might just be cutting off their sneering gear.
