M4M

"M4M" is a song by British recording artist Alesha. The song was written and produced by Alesha for her tenth studio album afterhours (2015). It accompanied the record's release as its second single after the success of global success "In Love Today".

"M4M" is a dance-oriented song, lifting from deep house and disco trends. Alesha was inspired by the work of Shep Pettibone, who she enlisted to remix the single. The song reflects hook-up culture in the gay community, taking its title from an abbreviation used in U.S. personals ads to indicate "men seeking men". Alesha was inspired by nightlife, particularly that of Chueca, an area in Madrid popular among gay men. Lyrically the song talks about sexual desire. In an interview with Base, Alesha agreed that "M4M" sounded like "Madonna circa '91 or '92".

The single premiered on July 20, as Alesha formally announced the release and track listing of afterhours. The song was met with praise from critics, who complimented its refreshing disco inspired nature.
