"Make Me Wanna Die" is the lead single of The Pretty Reckless' debut studio album Light Me Up. The song was written by Taylor Momsen, Ben Phillips, and Kato Khandwala, and produced by the latter.
It was released on March 30, 2010 in the US and on May 13, 2010 in the UK. A promotional video directed by Patrick Dwyer was released on May 13, 2010, which features live performances and backstage footage of the band shot at the Hotel Chelsea in New York City. The official music video, directed by Meiert Avis and Chris LeDoux, was filmed in Brooklyn and was postponed due to legal issues involving censorship, since Taylor was 16 at the time and got naked in some scenes. It premiered on September 15, 2010 on iTunes and VEVO.
Momsen said that "Make Me Wanna Die" was the most significant in her mind while releasing the album. "There was no real formula to the way that we wrote. It’s hard to define that, but ‘Make Me Wanna Die’ if I had to pick one. It was the first song written for the record, so it kind of defined the direction" she said for MTV Interview.
The song peaked #4 on Billboard US Hot Singles Sales, #18 on Billboard US Rock Digital Songs and #1 on UK Rock & Metal.
