"Make Her Say"
Song

"Make Her Say" (originally "I Poke Her Face") is a song by American hip hop artist Kid Cudi, released as a the second single from his album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. The single was digitally released to iTunes on June 9, 2009.[1] The song was originally entitled "I Poke Her Face" but was changed to make it more acceptable for radio. It features Kanye West, who also produced the track, and Common, as well as scratches from DJ A-Trak. The song contains a vocal sample of an acoustic version of "Poker Face" from The Cherrytree Sessions EP by Lady Gaga, of whom West is a fan.[2] Gaga herself voiced approval of the track, saying that West "had so much insight into what the song was about."[3] Incidentally, just a few weeks later, the two revealed plans to tour together; however, the tour was later canceled.[4] The song has recieved a nomination for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group at the 52nd Grammy Awards.

Music video

The music video for "Make Her Say" was directed by Nez Khammal and released on July 20, 2009. The video carries a minimal aesthetic, with scenes taking place in empty, wide-open spaces. Although Kid Cudi, Kanye West, and Common all appear in the video, they never attended a film shoot together. The music video utilizes a split screen effect to create the illusion that the three artists were all filmed in the same location. In reality, they had shot their individual scenes on opposite coasts of the United States; Common and Kid Cudi were filmed in New York while Kanye was filmed in Los Angeles. The group had wanted Lady GaGa to be included in the video, but she was too busy to make the appearance.[5] The Make Her Say video is also the first and also currently the only music video to feature the hardware from Activision's new game DJ Hero.

Live performances

Kid Cudi performed the song solo during his set at the 2009 Bamboozle music festival.[6] Kid Cudi also performed the song on June 13 in Chicago at The B96 Pepsi Summer Bash and in London at the 2009 O2 Wireless Festival. He also performed his verse of the song at Lollapalooza 2009 in Chicago, IL. He also preformed the song with Lady Gaga, in Toronto, Ontario on the Monster Ball tour.
