"Make It Right" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter and actress Lisa Stansfield for the 1994 soundtrack to the American drama series, Beverly Hills, 90210.[1] It was written by Rhett Lawrence, Crystal Bernard and Suzie Benson, and produced by Lawrence and Ian Devaney.[1]
"Make It Right" was released as a promotional single in the United States on 5 September 1994.[2] Therefore, it was not eligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.[3] However, the song reached number forty-six on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart and sixty four on the Hot R&B Singles chart.[4] The CD single was released in Germany on 2 October 1994 but failed to chart because of lack of promotion and no music video.[5] It was also issued as a mini CD single in Japan on 23 November 1994.[6] The song was remixed by R. Kelly, Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez and Rhett Lawrence.[2] "Make It Right" was not included on any of Stansfield's albums.[7]
Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine described the song as a "Stansfield jam that is stronger than anything she has offered in a long while." He noted that she "excels amid a flurry of jack/funk beats and whispery backing vocals. Her fluid vocal tones flow freely over a hummable melody."[8] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report commented, "School's almost in session, and it coincides with release of the sequel to the Beverly Hills 90210 Soundtrack: Volume 2 The College Years. Lisa Stansfield is a brilliant choice to pair with this song. R. Kelly's re-mix is the one for Top 40."[9]
