“I Was Made for Lovin’ You” draws heavily from the disco style that was popular in late-1970s United States. According to legend, the members of the band were in conflict with their producers, who wanted the band to shift to a more commercial sound. In response, the band argued that lucrative disco songs could be written by anyone in a short time frame. The story goes that the song’s demo was completed in mere hours after the bet.

Although drummer Peter Criss appeared in the video and on the album cover, he did not actually play on the track – session player Anton Fig took his place on the recording.

According to the book KISS: Behind the Mask, Paul Stanley wrote this song along with hit songwriter Desmond Child and producer Vini Poncia in an effort to prove how easy it was to write a disco song. It was a big hit, selling over a million copies and becoming a concert favorite.

The music video of “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” was filmed on June 20, 1979, in the Savannah Civic Center in Savannah, Georgia, and was directed by John Goodhue. After the show was canceled, it was decided to use the already completed stage to film two videos. A promotional video was shot featuring the song performed on the Dynasty stage set, consisting simply of the band performing the song. The music video on YouTube has more than 667 million views.

Lyrics/Versuri:

[Intro]
Mmmm, yeah
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 1]
Tonight I wanna give it all to you
In the darkness there’s so much I want to do
And tonight I wanna lay it at your feet
‘Cause, girl, I was made for you
And, girl, you were made for me

[Chorus]
I was made for loving you, baby
You were made for loving me
And I can’t get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me?

[Verse 2]
Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes
Feel the magic, there’s something that drives me wild
And tonight we’re going to make it all come true
‘Cause, girl, you were made for me
And, girl, I was made for you
