"We Made You" is a song by American rapper Eminem from his sixth studio album Relapse (2009). It was released as the second single from the album in April 7, 2009. "We Made You" was written by Eminem, Andre Young, Dawaun Parker, Mark Batson, Trevor Lawrence Jr. and Walter Egan. Production was handled by Dr. Dre, with Eminem and Doc Ish serving as additional co-producers.
"We Made You" received generally mixed reviews from music critics, and became a success, peaking inside the Top 10 in fourteen countries and at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. Just like "Shake That", this single is known for being a departure from the serious tone of his second released singles from his previous albums such as "Cleanin' Out My Closet", "The Way I Am" and "Like Toy Soldiers", instead having a more positive and laughing gag tone.
It features chorus vocals by Charmagne Tripp. Produced by Dr. Dre and co-produced by Doc Ish and Eminem himself, the song samples "Hot Summer Nights" by Walter Egan. The official cover for the single is a picture of the music video, with Eminem, Oxen, Lisa Ann and Bobby Lee.
Shadow of Our Past
We Hide Inside, the safety of the same games
The same games
Secrets, We've shield spinning us now in circles
Bound in circles
Don't pretend to know me, Yeah!
Cause you don't know a thing
Spin me from the agony, Yeah!
Man, you so know anything.
We play those games, when everything was perfect
More then perfect
How did we swim into this vicious cycle?
Evil Cycle
Stop Controlling everything, Yeah!
One day soon your gonna see
The Foul Love that you remade, Yeah!
has made you my worst enemy
So tell me why you need to feel?
These things that are not real?
Admitting in this...
Love you until now
The Shadows of Our Past
Still nothing in our bags
And this is the moment it all comes down!
We hide Inside, the safety of the same games
Stupid Games
Secrets, We've shield spinning us now in circles
Bound in Circles
Don't pretend to know me, Yeah!
Cause you don't know a thing
The Foul Love that your remade, Yeah!
Has made you my worst enemy
So tell me why you need to feel?
These things that are not real?
Admitting in this...
Love you until now
The Shadows of Our Past
Still nothing in our bags
Cause we couldn't turn ourselves around
The point of no return
Now everything will burn
And nothing but the ash will be where we fell
The Shadows of Our Past
Still nothing in our bags
And this is the moment it all comes down
(Robotic)
Yeah
These things that are not real
Admitting in this...
Love you until now
The Shadows of Our Past
Still nothing in our bags
