This isn’t a song to sit at home and listen to with a cuppa and a fig roll – it isn’t the effortlessly brilliant midtempo jam Don’t Tell Me, or the lyrical genius of Drowned World/Subsitute for Love. As La Ciccone so eloquently puts it in the song, “it must be the Tanqueray”. I defy even the song’s biggest critic to hear Girl Gone Wild in a club after several gins, and not feel the need to throw caution (and dignity) to the wind and start dancing. Make no mistake though, this is an absolute smash in its original form. Musically, it’s one of her finest moments since Confessions of a Dancefloor – but for those that feel it lacks a little, try the Justin Cognito Remix. Lyrically, it’s riddled with cliches, but when the delivery is this good, that almost becomes a non-issue. The moment she begins to recite the prayer at the beginning, the track screams early ’90s Madonna. It bares all the hallmarks of a Madge classic, and yet many of her fans shun it and try to pretend it doesn’t exist, like an ugly baby. That’s a travesty, because Girl Gone Wild is Madonna to down to a tee. Released as the second single from MDNA following Madonna’s arguably worst ever lead single, Give Me All Your Luvin’, it was destined to flop from the beginning. Thankfully, the album has a saving grace in the form of its erotically-charged dance banger Girl Gone Wild.
