It is an absolute club banger and will rank up with “Vogue” and “Ray of Light” as one of Madonna’s best dance tracks.

Did not happen.

This would not be out of place on Femme Fatale. Like GMAYL, it sounds somewhat beneath her, especially at this stage of her career. That said, it is catchy and I am much more hopeful for the album after hearing this vs. the putrid first single.

You know how you said Hung Up was her best lead off of recent memory. What was her all time best first single from an LP in your humble opinion?

I'm gonna say "Music" or "Secret." "Erotica" took years to appreciate, for me (the title track).

I think my favourite lead single is Like a Prayer - perfect introduction to that album! Then Frozen, then Secret

"Secret" isn't such an obvious one, especially at the time, and with that video.

"Hung Up," "Music," "Like A Prayer" and "Like a Virgin" are her best lead singles.

often, songs like "Erotica," "Secret," "Frozen," "American Life," and "4 Minutes" are used more to set the tone for whatever the new phase is, whether it's the sound, the image, or the themes she's exploring.

Big improvement over the first single. Nothing interesting going on in the lyric, but some solid hooks.

All i remember was the excitement of hearing "Secret" the first time when I bought the cassette single (hadn't heard on the radio and the video wasn't out yet)...

That song was just...SO KILLER. The vocal production, the smoothness - i don't think she's done anything that smooth before or since. It was so ridiculously ... great - the hook, the lyrics, the structure. I have never to this day been thrilled by a lead single (minus "Got Til It's Gone") the way "Secret" did.

You think so? I liked the first one over this one. I want more...and I know that she can deliver.

"Yes, I was, uh... I was thinking about ordering the tape, the videotape...about the college girls and the... the wild... the wildness. They're going wild or something? Somebody told me... about going wild. "

Definitely. I thought the first one was really lame.

Secret was a definitive track for her, and I wish it had hit #1. It had an aura of warmth that was all-pervasive and truly defined Bedtime Stories. Really, the perfect antidote to the cold sterility of the Erotica LP.

So you like Bedtime Stories, not Erotica?

Them's my two faves, always go back n forth.

I actually love the entire Erotica album--IMO although her voice has a certain cold edge the lyrics and music don't... I thought it was just the right balance with her voice and the great songs on this LP.

I love both! Perfect companion albums. I just meant that Bedtime Stories helped rehabilitate her public image by virtue of its contrast to Erotica.

I agree, just having heard the two recently...that's why the two new singles grate against those albums like fingernails on chalkboard!

Oh, ok. Coolness...

I always feel like the critical acclaim, grammy nominations, that were/are heaped all over ROL and Music albums should have gone to "E" and "BS"...

I agree. I love ROL but am not really a big fan of Music, which has a few great tracks and some good ones but doesn't feel like a fully formed album compared to its predecessors.

Sounds better than LUV, and it sounds like something Rihanna would record, so yea a hit...

Listen to Justin Cognito Remix, not a great mix, almost like an alternate version, but I think it's slightly better than the album version...

http://www.dancemixusa.co...ognito-mix

Apprently there are 2 mixes doing the rounds

Justin Cognito Remix 3.38
Justin Cognito Extended Remix 4.48.

Miles better than the 1st single.

Madonna Drops New Single 'Girl Gone Wild'
Pop icon's inner dance-floor vixen comes out on second MDNA single.
By Jocelyn Vena (@jocelyn1212)

Madonna kicked the party off with "Give Me All Your Luvin', " and she's keeping it going with her second MDNA single, "Girl Gone Wild." The thumping song, released Monday (February 27), proves that this era of Madonna will certainly be focused on pumping out dance-floor anthems.

"Girl Gone Wild" is all about the heat of letting loose and dancing, certainly themes that Madge fans will find familiar. Produced by Benny Benassi, the track, though fun and funky, is a bit darker than her first single, which seemed to pay homage to the '80s version of the pop icon in its bright nature.

"I got that burnin' hot desire/ And no one can put out my fire/ It's coming right down through the wire/ Here it comes/ When I hear them 808 drums/ It's got me singing," she proclaims on the catchy, sing-along chorus. "Hey, ey, ey, ey/ Like a girl gone wild/ A good girl gone wild/ I'm like, hey, ey, ey, ey/ Like a girl gone wild/ A good girl gone wild."

The song chugs along thanks to more dance-floor confessions from the singer, which include, "The room is spinning/ It must be the Tanqueray/ I'm about to go astray/ My inhibition's gone away/ I feel like sinning/ You got me in the zone/ DJ play my favorite song/ Turn me on."

The video was shot earlier this month and was directed by fashion photographers Mert and Marcus, who also shot the colorful artwork for the album. It had been rumored that Britney Spears would be featured on the track, but that rumor was shot down by Madonna herself.

MDNA will drop on March 26. It features production from collaborators like Martin Solveig and William Orbit, Demolition Crew, Alessandro "Alle" Benassi, Hardy "Indiigo" Muanza and Michael Malih.

Madonna Gets 'Fired Up' in 'Girl Gone Wild' Single

After bestowing "Give Me All Your Luvin'" with a Super Bowl-sized debut, Madonna has unveiled "Girl Gone Wild," the candy-coated second single from her forthcoming studio album, "MDNA," on Monday (Feb. 27).

In the world according to this single, girls just want to have some fun, and "get fired up like a smoking gun"; Madonna, for her part, realizes that she "shouldn't act this way" and that "good girls don't misbehave," but fortunately for her, she is a "bad girl anyway, hey!" While "Give Me All Your Luvin'" featured a call-and-response structure and cameos by Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., "Girl Gone Wild" is no-nonsense electro-pop, with a driving beat and propulsive hook that recalls Madge's 2005 single "Hung Up."

Last week, Ultra Music's Patrick Moxey filled in Billboard.com on the origin of the song, which was helmed by dance music superstar Benny Benassi and his production partner/cousin, Ale Benassi, and written by Vancouver native Jenson Vaughan. The Benassi boys recorded the track with Madonna in London, and Moxey says, ""She loved them… Benny is such a quality person; I think that made it all flow so much easier."

Along with "Luvin'," "Girl Gone Wild" previews Madonna's 12th studio album, which follows 2008's "Hard Candy" and will hit stores on March 26. Along with the Benassi boys, "MDNA" will feature production from Martin Solveig and longtime collaborator William Orbit.

"Give Me All Your Luvin'," which Madonna performed during the Super Bowl halftime show earlier this month, dropped to No. 39 on last week's Hot 100 after climbing into the Top 10 the week before. "Luvin'," "Girl Gone Wild" and many more "MDNA" cuts will accompany Madonna on her massive 2012 world tour, which kicks off on May 29 in Israel and heads to North America in August.

Madonna --> M.D.N.A promos

The opening and the chorus are really killer, but the verses are a tad bit flimsy. I like GMAYL alot better. None the less, I can't wait to see this live in november!

Girl Gone Wild by Madonna – First Official “Justin Cognito” Remixes
Yesterday, VEVO released a radio edit of “Girl Gone Wild”, Madonna’s second single off her upcoming album MDNA.

Now that the song has been released, the first official promo remixes are also making the rounds…

Girl Gone Wild – Justin Cognito Remix (3:38)
Girl Gone Wild – Justin Cognito Extended Remix (4:48)

I prefer the remix of this song...

I agree with RKJCNE... Verses are bit lame, the beat is not very strong in the verses... too bad.

I hope Madonna doesn't disappoint with this album.. I got the feeling this album will maybe be her worst ever...

The exclusive 17th track on the MDNA Delux Edition will be a Benny Benassi produced song called "BEST FRIENDS"

"Best Friend" is a brand new song co-produced by Benny Benassi and it will be exclusive to the Deluxe Edition of the new record.

And there is more to report, first of all the news that the Deluxe Edition is confirmed to have 17 tracks - but only one is a remix, four extra tracks are all brand new songs!

As you already know MDNA will be published in two different formats. The Standard edition is confirmed to include 12 tracks, 4 more new songs and the "Party Rock Remix" of Give Me All Your Luvin' will be exclusive to the Deluxe Edition.

The physical release of the "MDNA" Deluxe Edition will be a 2 CD set. Disc One will be the same of the Standard edition, and the bonus tracks will be available on Disc Two.

Overall, 5 songs in the new album are produced by William Orbit, and 7 tracks are signed by Martin Solveig.
Benny and Alle Benassi were know as the contributors of two songs, but "Best Friend" brings their share up to 3.
The last song in the lot is produced by Hardy "Indiigo" Muanza. And Madonna, of course.

There have been small tweaks in both the song titles and the tracklist, the latter does not appear exactly as the one listed in the pre-order page on iTunes. "Girl Gone Wild" is now listed with the new title, but more importantly there has been a swap between two songs in the Standard and Deluxe edition.

"B-day Song" will now be exclusive to the Deluxe Edition. Please note that the song does include a featuring by "M.I.A.".

On the other hand, "Love Spent" leaves the tracklist of the Deluxe Edition to join that of the Standard release.

The tracklist is still considered subject to change as manufacturing of the physical release has not started yet, leaving a window open to last minute changes.

When is Madonna going to produce a song all by herself? At least janet did do that & it turned in2 a hit to...

I don't get all the non stop kissing "Music"'s ass on the part of the critics especially. Feels very half baked, though the first two songs are classics.

ROL and Music are Madonna at her best.
