This features Justin Timberlake, who also co-wrote the track with Madonna, Danja Hills and Timbaland. Madonna told Interview magazine about writing with Timberlake: "I really enjoy writing with Justin. We had psychoanalytic sessions whenever we wrote songs first. We'd sit down and we'd start talking about situations. And then we'd start talking about issues or problems or relationships with people. That was the only way, because you know, writing together with somebody is very intimate. That was fun, because he's open and he's got talent. He's a songwriter. I haven't worked with a lot of songwriters where I'm instantly connected and start riffing and playing with the rhythm of the words. He's as interested in the rhythm of the words as the meaning of the words."
The 4 minutes refers to the length of the song. It's a little dramatic, as they don't really save the world, but the song provides a concise showcase for the talents of Madonna, Timberlake and Timbaland. The song builds in urgency until the dramatic cold ending, as the song cuts off just about 4 minutes in.
The song's co-producer Timbaland provided backing vocals on this track and produced it along with Hills, Timberlake and Demo Castellon. Timbaland had partially debuted it at a Philadelphia Christmas concert in December 2007.
