"Making Me Go" turns up on Come Feel Me Tremble, the 2003 record that was Paul Westerberg's fifth solo album, and like the rest of it, it's strictly a one-man, homemade job. He wrote the song alone and cut the album entirely by himself at his house, the same way he'd made its predecessor, and the whole thing wears its roughness proudly, more demo-tape candor than studio polish.
It keeps interesting company: elsewhere on the record are a song about Sylvia Plath, one about his father's experience of World War II, and one he had written for Bonnie Raitt, who didn't want it.
