"U Make Me Wanna" is a single by American rapper Jadakiss featuring singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, from Jadakiss' album Kiss of Death. The single, released in 2004 (see 2004 in music), was co-written by Jadakiss, Carey, and Scott Storch and produced by Storch. It became Jadakiss' third Top 40 single in the United States, and was Carey's twenty-sixth U.S. Top 40 single.
