The You Maketh Me Challenge

whoa — oh — oh

Can you sing it? Record your version of the chorus from Criteria’s “You Maketh Me” — straight, weird, beautiful, or ridiculous — for a shot at signed vinyl, merch, and a reshare from the band.

Submit your version

Watch Stephen explain it

New to the song? Hear it first

Press play, get that chorus stuck in your head, then go make it your own.

Sing it. Scream it. Make it weird.

“You Maketh Me” has one of those choruses that lodges in your head and refuses to leave. Now we want to hear you do it — full band, acoustic, a cappella, in the car, in the shower. We genuinely don’t care how. We just want to hear what this song sounds like when it’s not Stephen singing it.
