"Make Me a Song" is a song by American singer Kiley Dean. It was written by Candice Nelson, Walter "Lil Walt" Millsap and Timbaland for her unreleased debut album Simple Girl, while production was helmed by the latter, with additional production by Scott Storch.

Released as Dean's debut single, "Make Me a Song" peaked at number 99 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[1]
