With the 2024 megahit ‘Made for Me‘, GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Muni Long hushed the naysayers who believed her 2022 smash ‘Hrs & Hrs‘ was a fluke.
On the wings of exposure from a viral challenge that took over social media as well as a remix with Songbird Supreme Mariah Carey, the Jermaine Dupri-produced bop not only became her longest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 but also her second highest-charting hit yet (#20 peak).

Taking to Instagram on Monday (October 7), Long revealed plans to submit ‘Made’ for 2025 GRAMMY consideration in the Record of the Year and Best R&B Performance categories.

Bummed fans take particular umbrage with the Recording Academy ruling given that ‘Made,’ despite being submitted for recognition, was never nominated.
