Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Justify My Love

"Justify My Love" Was The First Single By American Singer-Songwriter Madonna From Her 1990 Greatest Hits Compilation 'The Immaculate Collection' And Was Released On November 6 1990 By Sire Records. It Caused International Controversy Due To The Accompanying Music Video Which Was Sexually Explicit And Even Banned By MTV. This Outraged Madonna And She Appeared On ABC's Nightline To Defend It. The Single Was Also Released As A Video-Single And Became The Highest Selling Video Single Of All-Time. 1 When Released The Single Rose To The Top Of The Billboard Hot 100 And Many Other Worldwide Charts. The Single Made No.2 In The Uk Christmas Charts Selling Over 350 000 Copies. "Justify My Love" Was Written By Lenny Kravitz Ingrid Chavez And Madonna. Kravitz Wrote The Song For Madonna Based On A Poem Written By Friend And Prince Protégé Ingrid Chavez. Kravitz Added The Title Hook And Chorus. Madonna Contributed A Few Lines. Chavez Was Not Credited For The Song And Later Sued Kravitz In 1992. She Received An Out-Of-Court Settlement And Gained A Co-Writing Credit. Producer Kravitz Sampled The Intro Found On Public Enemy's Instrumental "Security Of The First World" And Used It As The Basis Of The Song. The Song Was Unique In That Madonna's Vocals Are Primarily Spoken And Whispered. This Style Served As A Prelude To Her Next Album Erotica In Which She Spoke The Lyrics On Some Of The Songs Rather Than Singing Them. Kravitz Provided Background Vocals. Rumors Of A Love Affair Between Kravitz And Madonna Sprang Up In The Press Upon The Release Of The Song. Kravitz Has Denied These Rumors. In 2003 Madonna Fans Were Asked To Vote For Their Top 20 Madonna Singles Of All-Time By Q-Magazine. "Justify My Love" Was Allocated The #12 Spot. Rapper Mase Sampled The Song On His 1999 Album Double Up On His Song "Stay Out Of My Way". The Song Was Covered By Rapper Vita And Pop–R&B Singer Ashanti For The Fast And The Furious Soundtrack In 2001. Rapper Jay-Z's Song "Justify My Thug" From His 2003 Album The Black Album Produced By DJ Quik Is A Remake Of "Justify My Love." Enigma Sampled "Justify My Love" For Their "Orthodox Remix" Of The 1990 Single "Mea Culpa". The Video Contains Partial Nudity - A Female Dancer Flashes A Bit Of Nipple Under Her Suspenders. MTV Banned It But Eventually Agreed To Play It Late At Night. With The Controversy Brewing Over The Video ABC Aired It On Nightline With Anchor Forrest Sawyer Asking Madonna Questions About The Video As It Ran. It Was Unusual For An Entertainment Story To Be The Focus Of Nightline But This One Made The News Because It Raised Censorship Issues. It Also Didn't Hurt That Madonna Was A Huge Star And Was Sure To Draw Lots Of Viewers. While The Video Played Madonna Talked About How Women In Her Videos Are Always In Control Sexually
