"What You're Made Of" is the first single from British singer Lucie Silvas' debut album, Breathe In (2004). Released on 4 October 2004, the song debuted and peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top 30 in Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
Silvas subsequently recorded two different versions of the song: one with French singer Grégory Lemarchal and another with Spanish singer Antonio Orozco. The French version—titled "Même si (What You're Made Of)"—peaked at number two in France and charted strongly in Wallonia and Switzerland. In 2006, Silvas recorded a third version with the Dutch Metropole Orchestra that became a minor hit in the Netherlands.
