"Make Luv" is a song by Italian music producer Room 5 (also known as Junior Jack), which features the sampled voice of American R&B singer Oliver Cheatham from his 1983 hit "Get Down Saturday Night".[1] Originally released in Belgium and Sweden in 2001,[2][3] "Make Luv" gained success following its 2003 re-release, reaching No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, where it remained for four weeks in March and into April of 2003.[4] The song also reached the top 10 in Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Romania.

The song's success was partly due to its use in a popular television advertising campaign for Lynx Pulse deodorant.[1][5] The duo released another collaboration, "Music and You" in 2003, which reached No. 38 on the UK Singles Chart.[6]
