The song "Make You Love Me" by JT Music tells the story of a person's infatuation with one of the members of the Literature Club in the visual novel game, Doki Doki Literature Club. The protagonist initially joins the club reluctantly upon the insistence of their friend Sayori. However, they soon find themselves attracted to one of the girls in the club. The protagonist is taken by the charm and beauty of the girls in the club and now faces the dilemma of choosing one of them to be their romantic partner. Upon meeting the person they are interested in, their heart skips a beat (represented by "doki-doki" sound effect in the game). They express their desire to be chosen by the person, promising to make them love them back. The song revolves around the protagonist's pursuit of this person, believing that they are the perfect match. They sing about wanting to sit next to them, impress them with their poetry, and show them the ropes of the Literature Club. The protagonist acknowledges that nobody is perfect and urges the person not to hide their feelings, as they are willing to open up their heart to them. They confess that they cannot get the person out of their mind and feel like they have no choice but to love them. They mention the idea of fate and free will being an illusion, implying that their connection is predestined. They believe that losing the person would take away their reason to live, emphasizing how much they're making them want to be loved in return. However, the protagonist acknowledges their own shortcomings and the possibility of succumbing to jealousy. They implore the person not to run away and to trust them, promising that they will come to appreciate the protagonist's efforts to make them love them. Later in the song, the perspective shifts, and it is revealed that the person being pursued by the protagonist is actually a character in the game, rather than a real person. The lyrics mention interpreting cryptic words in stanzas and refer to the blood of the protagonist being the ink and the sword being the pen, indicating that they are aware of their existence within the game's world. They discuss embracing depression and the pain that fuels artistic expression. The song concludes with the person being pursued realizing that their autonomy is an illusion within the game and succumbing to the protagonist's advances. The lyrics become more intense as the protagonist personifies the person's obsessions and fantasies, claiming to be the manifestation of their deepest desires. They urge the person to love them until they die. Overall, "Make You Love Me" explores themes of obsession, the blurred line between reality and fiction within a game, and the idea of free will versus predetermined events.
