"Give Me All Your Luvin'"
Song

"Give Me All Your Luvin'" is a song by American singer-songwriter Madonna featuring guest vocals from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. It will be released to radio and as digital download on February 3, 2012, as the lead single of her forthcoming album MDNA. The song is the debut release from her Live Nation contract and will be distributed in partnership with Interscope Records, under a new three-album deal. A demo version of the song was leaked on November 8, 2011, under the name "Give Me All Your Love". An accompanying music video was filmed in December 2011 and it was directed by MegaForce.

Background

In December 2010 Madonna posted a message on her Facebook exclaiming: "Its official! I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music! Music I can dance to. I'm on the lookout for the maddest, sickest, most badass people to collaborate with. I'm just saying [...]."[1] Madonna has stated she wanted to work with M.I.A. and Minaj on the track as they were both strong, independent girls with a unique voice, and that she liked their music and what they represented.[2] She paid tribute to the stars, saying "They're not conventional pop stars and I really admire them both. I love both of them actually.[3] Confirming her performance of the song alongside Madonna and Minaj at the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show on February 5, 2012, from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, M.I.A. told BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe of her admiration for Madonna, noting "As musicians, we’re two women and we represent two opposite sides of the world. If we can come together on a piece of music or something like the Super Bowl, I feel like that’s actually a cool thing to see."[4]

Release

On November 8, 2011, two snippets of the demo leaked on the web.[5] Later that day, the entire demo of the song, as "Give Me All Your Love," was leaked onto the Internet.[6] According to Billboard: "Within a few hours, it was among one of the top 10 trending topics worldwide on Twitter."[6] After the release of the demo, Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary, wrote on Twitter, "The plan was for new music to come out in the new year. I'm very happy with the positive reaction to the demo, but we are very upset with whoever leaked the song!!!!!!!! we are asking that the fans please help us police any more leaks. we have a lot in store for you. but please respect the process."[7][8] The leaked demo lacked vocals from both Minaj and M.I.A..[8][9][10][11][2] M.I.A. confirmed the collaboration of all three in a tweet saying she had been summoned to New York City on November 29, 2011.[12]

On December 22, 2011, the police arrested a 31-year-old man from Spain who reportedly leaked the demo. They confirmed the suspect's initials as J.M.R. and described him as "a big Madonna fan"; they found recordings of the song in his belongings.[13][14][15][16] It was confirmed by The Huffington Post that the person didn't seek to profit from the release. He was charged with leaking the unpublished song and later was subsequently released.[17]

On January 29, 2012, Interscope Records announced that the song will be titled "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and that it would be released on February 3, 2012.[18] The song was written by Madonna, Martin Solveig, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A, composed by Solveig and Michael Tordjman and produced by Madonna and Solveig.[18] The track will be her debut single from her 360 deal with Live Nation Entertainment which was signed in 2007. Through this contract, Madonna and Live Nation signed a three-album deal with Interscope Records, who will market and distribute the single and the studio album.[19] "Give Me All Your Luvin'" will be sent for adding to United States Mainstream radio on February 7, 2012.[20]

Composition

The demo starts with a cheer: "L-U-V MADONNA" sung by Madonna,[7] after which a "polished 60s shakedown" follows.[21] Priya Elan of NME said that the demo resembles Madonna's own songs "Beautiful Stranger", "Amazing" and the songs on her albums Ray of Light (1998) and Hard Candy (2008).[21] In the chorus, Madonna sings the lines "Give me all your love/ Let's forget about time and dance the night away", which led to criticism because according to Priya Elan they are "neither befitting of the grande dame of disco nor are indicative of the type of lyrics she should be penning at this stage in her career."[21] Entertainment Weekly's Lanford Beard commented that the demo, "blends Katy Perry-meets-Gwen Stefani chanting, echoes of Ashlee Simpson's regrettable foray into New Wave-y synth-guitar sounds, and a 'Hold It Against Me' redux breakdown."[22] John Mitchell of MTV Newsroom commented that the instrumentation of the song consists of "glittery synths, marching band drums, claps and a catchy-as-hell chorus."[7] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy called the song an "'80s-inspired electro-thumper complete with a cheerleader chant of 'L-U-V Madonna!'"[23]

Critical reception

In a review of the leaked demo, Priya Elan of NME graded the song 7.8 out of 10, commenting: "what Madonna's doing in this song is so much more impossibly fun than we could have imagined that all of that talk seems unimportant," and added, "Madonna sounds like Madonna again, which is a reason to celebrate."[21] Lanford Beard of Entertainment Weekly gave a mixed review for the demo and wrote: "Madonna is her own artist, a woman who has proved over four iconic decades in the business that she is more than capable of creating much more inventive and exhilarating music than this. 'Love' is cloying, derivative, and, frankly, boring — the kind of second-rate single I’d expect to hear from a less-experienced pop ingenue who takes what they can get...[Madonna] deserve[s] better."[22]

Music video

Nicki Minaj tweeted on December 8, 2011 that she was on set with Madonna filming the video for "Give Me All Your Luvin".[24][25] Directed by MegaForce, the video has football and cheerleader theme, inspired by her upcoming Super Bowl appearance. Madonna previewed the video in an American Idol exclusive on February 2, 2012. The full video for "Give Me All Your Luvin'" premiered on Madonna's YouTube channel on February 3, 2012.[18]
