"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] Initially released in 2001, "Make Luv" first gained success in 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. 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] The duo released another collaboration, "Music and You" in 2003, which reached No. 38 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
