About Gone

"Girl Gone Wild" is a song by American recording artist Madonna from her twelfth studio album, MDNA (2012). She co-wrote the song with Benny Benassi, his cousin Alle Benassi (known together as the Benassi Bros.), and songwriter Jenson Vaughan, while the Benassi Bros. co-produced the track with Madonna. Vaughan had worked on the lyrics before sending them to Madonna, who developed the demo into the final version of "Girl Gone Wild". The song was confirmed by Madonna as the second single from the album and was released on March 2, 2012, by Interscope Records. Musically, "Girl Gone Wild" is a mid-tempo electropop and dance-pop party track with a four-on-the-floor influence. The song opens with a prayer and features EDM elements. After the song was released, Joe Francis, the creator of Girls Gone Wild franchise, threatened to sue Madonna for copyright infringement if she sang the song during her performance at Super Bowl XLVI halftime show. Madonna's representatives stated that she was not aware of either Francis or the lawsuit, and that several songs with the same name had already been released by other artists.

Selling out
Is not my thing
Walk away
I won't be broken again
I'm not
I'm not what you think
