Introduction:
Country music legend George Strait released a catchy tune titled “Make Her Fall In Love With Me Song” in 2008. The song became a part of his studio album “Troubadour”, which went on to critical and commercial acclaim. This easy-going country song with a touch of Texas swing showcased yet another side of Strait’s musical persona, a man hoping to find love through the power of music.
“Troubadour” marked a significant creative point for Strait. While known for his neotraditional country sound and his adherence to classic country music principles, the album experimented with a broader range of influences, incorporating elements of heartland rock and even a touch of adult contemporary music. “Make Her Fall In Love With Me Song” exemplified this by merging the familiar two-step beat synonymous with country music with a breezy, pop-tinged melody.
The song itself was written by Leslie Satcher and Al Anderson. Satcher was a relatively unknown songwriter at the time, while Anderson was a seasoned musician who had collaborated with Strait on numerous occasions in the past. Their partnership produced a song that perfectly fit Strait’s signature style – a relatable story about love and longing delivered with his distinctive, understated vocals.
“Make Her Fall In Love With Me Song” was a success on the country music charts. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, solidifying Strait’s place as one of the genre’s most enduring stars. The song further propelled the album “Troubadour” to great heights, which debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. While the song didn’t receive any major awards, it became a staple on Strait’s setlist for years to come, a testament to its enduring popularity with fans.

Lyrics:
Play me a dancer, a holder-hander, or honky-tonker,Pull-her-up-closer, slow romancer,Make her fall in love with me song.
The room is swimmin’ with pretty women,But how’s a fella supposed to get close to ’em?The band is rockin’, the joint is jumpin,Mr. guitar man let me tell you somethin’
Play me a dancer, a holder-hander, or honky-tonker,Pull-her-up-closer, slow romancer,Make her fall in love with me song.
I see a redhead, I see a brunette,And there’s a blonde I love I don’t even know yet.I’m going crazy, you got to save me.I need a hugger and I don’t mean maybe.
Play me a dancer, a holder-hander, or honky-tonker,Pull-her-up-closer, get-next-to-her, sweet-enough-to-kiss-her,Just-a-little-softer-so-she-can-hear-me-whisper, slow romancer,Make her fall in love with me song.
