"Make It On My Own" is a 1992 song by the British singer Alison Limerick from her album And Still I Rise.

Chart performance

It was a big club hit and reached #16 in the UK chart. In the US it peaked at number 6 on the Billboard dance chart.[1] In 1996 the song was remixed by house music producers Dancing Divaz and this version peaked at #30 in the UK.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "After a healthy run on import, British lass is poised to duplicate the success of her now-classic hit "Where Love Lives." String-lined remixes give the R&B/house tune a light and airy vibe. And how 'bout those vocals! They evoke images of a young Dionne Warwick. Brilliant."[2]

Music & Media wrote: "The recipe for good '70s soul used by the likes of Gloria Gaynor and Sister Sledge proves to work as well in our time, the main differences being more beats per minute and less bass."[3]
