Infobox and lead

Infobox looks good!
"Trainor wrote the song with" → "Trainor co-wrote the song with"
"released it as" → "released the song as"
"the song was inspired by Trainor's insecurities about body image and" → "it was inspired by Trainor's insecurities about body image, and"
Pipe music critics to Music journalism
"with positive commentary directed towards its" → "who directed positive commentary towards the"
"production but some criticism of" → "production, but criticized"
Remove the release year of "Me Too"
Mention the month the video premiered
"Trainor performed it on" → "Trainor performed the song on" and mention that these were in 2022

Background and release

Img looks good!
"top-10 singles on the" → "top-10 singles on the US"
Remove the comma after third album
"attempt to "adapt to" → "attempt of "adapting to" per the source
"after its preceding singles" → "after the preceding singles"
"she announced her" → "Trainor announced her"
"along with her pregnancy's influence on it." → "along with the influence of her pregnancy."
"wrote "Made You Look" with" → "wrote "Made You Look" alongside"
"was inspired by her insecurities" → "was inspired by the singer's insecurities"

Avoiding "the singer" per WP:ELEVAR

"Trainor pitched the lyric" → "Trainor pitched the lines"
Introduce her husband in prose at this point rather than later on
"while writing it." → "while writing the track."
"its a cappella version featuring" → "its a cappella version, featuring"
"was released with an accompanying" → "was released alongside a"
"following which two million" → "following which around two million" per the source

Composition

Retitle to Composition and lyrics
Audio sample looks good!
Pipe percussion to Percussion instrument
Wikilink baritone saxophone
Wikilink trombone
"Jeremie Inhaber mixed it," → "Jeremie Inhaber mixed the song,"
Pipe Sterling Sound to Sterling Sound Studios
""Made You Look" is a" → "Musically, "Made You Look" is a"
"instrumentation to achieve this sound." → "instrumentation to achieve the style." per the source
"features the bass and brass instruments which" → "features bass and brass instruments, which"

Critical reception

"received mixed reviews from" → "was met with mixed reviews from"
"previous work and praising its" → "previous work, and praising the"
"struck the perfect balance between nostalgia for early Trainor music as well as" → "achieved a correct balance between nostalgia for early Trainor music and"
"would not listen to it again," → "would not listen to the song again,"
Remove "with it" from the end of the sentence because this is clear from you having used "it" enough times
Per Plugged In being a fundamentalist source, is it really reliable?

Commercial performance

"issued for November 5, 2022." → "issued dated November 5, 2022."
"on the chart, Trainor's first" → "on the chart, becoming Trainor's first" but this sentence is confusing; you should mention the Streaming Songs position for consistency and also add the source's stats
Decapitalise silver

Not done per same reasons as previous GAN

Add BPI in brackets and mention it was in the United Kingdom, plus how many copies were sold

The certification source link does not offer a sales count. It might constitute original research/synthesis to speculate

Decapitalise gold and add RMNZ in brackets, mentioning the number of copies

Same as above

"where it charted at number six." → "charting at number six."

Music video

Retitle to Music video and promotion
"always, but I" → "always ... but I" per the context
"and Trainor's husband, Daryl Sabara, as" → "and Sabara as"

Live performances

Make this the second para of the above section

Credits and personnel

Good

Charts

Use col to separate the monthly and year-end ones from the weekly charts

Certifications

Good

Release history

None of these should be sortable
The sources do not back up a various release

References

Copyvio score looks great at 23.1%!!!!
Is Pop Culture really reliable for ref 4? If kept, change to PopCulture.

Interview directly with Trainor which should be admissible per WP:ABOUTSELF

Again, is ref 17 acceptable as a Christian fundamentalist source?

They have an extensive team and an editor according to their about page, and as a music review is not a political topic I guess that might be excusable. I think removing all usages of this source will be detrimental to readers' understanding of the article

Remove ABC News from ref 23, citing Associated Press as publisher instead
Cite Today as work/website instead on ref 46
Cite TopHit as publisher instead on ref 55
ifpi.gr → IFPI Greece on ref 62 with the wikilink, citing as publisher instead
Remove The Official South African Charts from ref 78
Cite Circle Chart as publisher instead on refs 79 and 87

Final comments and verdict

On hold until all of the issues are fixed; that went faster than I thought somewhat! --K. Peake 12:52, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking care of this review, K. Peake. As always, your speed is very impressive! I've addressed the review comments :)--N Ø 14:39, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MaranoFan That is reassuring, however you need to add the units sold for the certifications since it's not original research when reaching certifications requires a certain amount of units. --K. Peake 14:59, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The BPI cert page states the song is certified Silver and the RMNZ page states it is Gold, both without providing any sales counts. It would be synthesis to use another link to prove the certification thresholds. I think this could be discussed at one of the Music wikiprojects in the future to determine what the consensus is but I'm going to err on the side of caution until then. Regards.--N Ø 15:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

K. Peake, to word it a different way, it is fine to state in the certification table that so-and-so many copies is the threshold needed to achieve said certification, but making the claim "Made You Look sold X many copies" in the prose does not pass verification from the cert ref as this is not directly stated in any source. Are you going to hold up promotion over this? That would be extremely weird to me and you haven't asked for this particular change on any prior GAN.--N Ø 03:19, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Pass now, this issue will not get in the way of that! --K. Peake 09:00, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
