"Make Me Wanna Die"
Song
B-side"Zombie"

"Make Me Wanna Die" a song by American hard rock band The Pretty Reckless from their debut studio album, Light Me Up (2010). The song was written by Taylor Momsen, Ben Phillips, and Kato Khandwala, and produced by the latter. It was released on May 13, 2010 as the album's lead single.

Critical reception

Nick Levine of Digital Spy rated "Make Me Wanna Die" four out of five stars, stating the song "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."[1] Chris Roberts of BBC Music felt that the song "packs every emo-romantic cliché into its punchy pat structure".[2]

Music videos

A promotional video for "Make Me Wanna Die", known as the "viral version", was directed by Patrick Dwyer and released on May 11, 2010.[3][4] The video, shot at the Hotel Chelsea in New York City, features live performance clips and backstage footage of the band.[4]

The official music video, directed by Meiert Avis and Chris LeDoux, was filmed in Brooklyn, New York City in March 2010.[5] Momsen explained the concept of the video to MTV News, saying, "[T]o try and emulate kind of an epic-y song that's almost like a film, it was a challenge to come up with a treatment. So I guess we sort of decided to make it like a death march. You can't live anymore in this world, and you're on your way to your death, and you're seeing everything you're passing, and stripping yourself of your belongings on your way to your grave."[6] According to Momsen, the video was "held up in legal for a long time because I was 16 when we shot that. We couldn't release it because, yes, I actually got naked."[7] The video was ultimately released on September 15, 2010 to the iTunes Store in the US.[8]

Use in media

"Make Me Wanna Die" plays during the end credits of the 2010 film Kick-Ass,[9] and is also included on its soundtrack.[10] In August 2010, the song was used in a trailer for the second season of The Vampire Diaries.[11] "Make Me Wanna Die" was featured in the ninth episode of the fourth season of Gossip Girl, "The Witches of Bushwick", which aired on November 5, 2010. It was playing when Jenny (Momsen's character) as Serena pulls the curtain down to reveal Blair and Chuck talking together. The track was also used during the opening segment of the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.[12]
