Writing and inspiration

"Give It 2 Me" was written by Madonna and Pharrell Williams as a self-empowerment song. Ingrid Sischy from Interview magazine asked Madonna, whether the song had the ability to become a party anthem in Ibiza. Madonna responded that she liked the idea of everybody dancing to "Give It 2 Me", by treating it as a party anthem. When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Madonna said,

"It's ['Give It 2 Me'] very anthemic. I basically wrote it so I could have a great time doing it in a stadium. The words are very autobiographical. 'Got no boundaries, got no limits. [...] Don't stop me now. [...] If it's against the law, arrest me.' [...] Yes, that's me. It's the provocative me. The boring, predictable me." leather watch winders

In an interview with MTV Australia, Madonna explained that a prominent theme of the Hard Candy album, was about incorporating the image of a boxer, an idea which has been continuously repeated within the song. According to her, "['Give It 2 Me'] is basically you know I'm not you know, give me all you got, so it's quite a sort of tough stance". The title of the song was initially decided by Madonna, to be used as the main title, for the then unnamed album. This was changed following the release of a similar named song by Timbaland. compact luggage cart

"Give It 2 Me" is an upbeat dance song, which, according to The Sun, features a "bouncy beat" and Williams' trademark funky sound. Rolling Stone said that the song has a club-like synth arrangement with a hip hop "feel to it". Entertainment Weekly felt that the hip-hop feel is brought about by the use of snare drums. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, the song is set in the time signature of common time, with a moderate groove tempo of 120 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of G# minor, with Madonna's vocal range spanning from G3 to C5. The song has a basic sequence of Ebbdbbb as its chord progression. "Give It 2 Me" starts with an offbeat rhythm and is accompanied by the sound of West African percussion. The song builds into a crescendo as Madonna sings the line, "If it's against the law, arrest me, if you can handle it, undress me". This is followed by synthesized musical arrangement, as Madonna starts singing the line, "When the lights go down and there's no one left, I can go on and on and on." According to The Village Voice, the song contains elements of the work of Nile Rodgers.

"Give It 2 Me" is written as a self-manifesto song. Lyrically, though the song appears to be about dancing and sex, in reality Madonna uses sarcasm to emphasize the longevity of her career. The lyrics explain that she does not want to retire from her career at that moment and possesses the ability to continue, as noted in the lines "Don't stop me now, no need to catch my breath, I can go on and on and on."

Critical reception

"Give It 2 Me" generally received positive critical reviews. Elysa Gardner from USA Today called the song "thumping" and "breathless", naming it one of the standout tracks of the album. Caryn Ganz of Rolling Stone described "Give It 2 Me" as a "thumpy self-empowerment anthem". About.com listed it as one of the top tracks on Hard Candy, and called it a "wonderful, fun Madonna song to dance to". Mark Beech from Bloomberg Television complimented the track's "insidious beats". Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine called it "a little careerism on the dance floor", for the line "Give me a record and I'll break it". However she criticised the "Get stupid" interlude, calling it "plain stupid". Jon Pareles from The New York Times, and Alexis Petridis of The Guardian, compared the song with Rick James' "Super Freak" (1981). Mark Savage from BBC described the song as "one of the [Hard Candy] record's few out-and-out pop moments, featuring a cute, bouncy beat, and a sense of humour that has been missing from Madonna's music since her Dick Tracy days."

While reviewing Hard Candy, Chris Williams from Entertainment Weekly complemented the song, saying that with "tunes like 'Give It 2 Me' [Madonna's] unabashedly reviving the celebrative spirit of early singles like 'Lucky Star' and 'Holiday' filtering it through hip-hop's sonic boom." He also called it the most exciting club banger. Joan Anderman of The Boston Globe said that the song "thumps relentlessly, euphorically, to the rhythm of a clanking virtual cowbell and freaky bass." Joey Guerra from Houston Chronicle complimented the "furious house grooves and thundering beats" of the song. "Give It 2 Me" was compared by Miles Marshall Lewis of The Village Voice, to the earlier Madonna song "Material Girl", and the music of producer Nile Rodgers. Pete Paphides of The Times noted how differential Madonna sounded in songs like "Give It 2 Me", "Dance 2Night" and "She's Not Me" from the Hard Candy album. The song received a negative feedback from Thomas Hauner of PopMatters, who said that "[the] West-African inspired percussion bridgeirdropped onto the album and randomly landing at this pointompletely disrupts the song full potential."

Chart performance

Before it was officially released in Canada, the single debuted and peaked at number eight on the Canadian Hot 100 chart and became the week's highest debut.

Music video

Madonna and Pharrell Williams, in the music video for "Give It 2 Me"

The music video was filmed on April 3, 2008, at the Sunbeam Studios in London, co-directed by fashion photographer Tom Munro and Nathan Rissman. The video was shot during Madonna's photo shoot with Elle magazine, for its May Cover Girl issue. Madonna's retro-chic look in the video was inspired by the photoshoot. The video featured a guest appearance from rapper Pharrell Williams; he was portrayed alongside Madonna, singing to the camera in front of various backdrops. Madonna wore thigh-high PVC boots, visible underwear and sheer tops in the video. The dresses were designed by several fashion brands, including Chanel and Roberto Cavalli.

The video begins with Madonna stretching in front of a wall-mirror, while traffic noise is heard. During the first verse, Madonna is shown in a chic Chanel black dress with retro makeup. As the bridge of the song builds up, she is shown dancing in front of a white screen, wearing a French cap, and standing on a sofa. When the chorus of the song plays, she dances while holding an archlight, and fondles with long black fur. The second verse shows Madonna and Williams trading shots, with Williams wearing sunglasses in some scenes. At the "Get stupid" interlude, Williams is shown dragging a bag along the floor behind Madonna, thus portraying that he is stupid. The video concludes, with an exhausted Madonna, falling asleep on the studio floor.

The Daily Mail called the video "kinky" and felt that "[Madonna] has no plans to tone down her racy image." MTV said that the essence of the video was Madonna's 1990 compilation album, whose inline pictures featured her in bejewelled costumes. The beat was compared to the Madonna song "Like a Virgin" (1984), while the black and white footage and the mod-burlesque feel was compared to "Vogue" (1990). According to MTV, elements from Madonna's 2006 Confessions Tour, was included in the dance choreography. They added that "she thrown in some new [choreography], an extended cameo by Pharrell and enough jewelry to give Mr. T an inferiority complex." Bill Lamb of About.com, complimented on Madonna's "stunning" body in the video, although she had turned 50 in the summer of 2008. He added that the video emphasized Madonna's "amazing staying power as one of the world's top pop stars for 25 years." However, Eric Wilson from The New York Times noted that the video did not yield a breakout Madonna look, unlike her music videos from the 1980s or 1990s era.

Live performance

The song was performed during the promotional tour for the Hard Candy album, and the 20082009 Sticky & Sweet Tour; both performances were similar. In the promotional tour, "Give It 2 Me" was performed as the fifth song of the setlist. Madonna wore a shiny black dress with black tails, Adidas track pants and high-heeled, lace-up boots. Every time the chorus was played, Madonna and her back-up dancers jumped up and down, while putting up their hands in the air. The performance was backed by laser lights in the background and two movable screens, which displayed Williams, performing his lines.

In the Sticky & Sweet Tour, "Give It 2 Me" was performed as the closing song of the "Futuristic rave with Japanese influence" section. It was mixed with Peter Rauhofer's remix of the Funky Green Dogs song "Fired Up!". During the last segment of the show, Madonna wore a futuristic robotic dress, designed by Heatherette, with plates on her shoulder and a wig with long curled hair. She opened the breastplate she wore during the performance of "Hung Up", and started the final performance of the tour, by singing "Give It 2 Me". Parts of the lyrics of the song flashed on the screens in the style of a shooter video game, featuring 1980s games like Space Invaders and Asteroids. Gradually, more and more dancers joined Madonna, and together they started jumping on stage. Williams appeared on the screens to sing his lines. He made a special guest appearance, for the performances of "Give It 2 Me", at the Madison Square Garden stop of the tour. Near the end of the performance, Madonna asked the crowd to sing along with her while she shouted, "No one is ever going to stop me". The performance ended with video backdrops showing Madonna's sweaty, unsmiling, exhausted face, as she disappeared behind the reformed cubicle-shaped screens, which showed the words, 'Game Over', and "Holiday" started playing in the background.
