Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Gang Bang. By Songfacts®.

Despite its unfortunate title, this song is about murdering an errant lover rather than demeaning group sex. However, the dark house track is still lyrically explicit and was therefore omitted from the "clean" version of MDNA.

Amongst the eight credited songwriters on this track are the British pop singer Mika, who tweeted on March 8, 2012 that the song is, "weird as f--k, underground and lyrically cool, it's amazing and bizarre. I love it, she sounds so good singing words so harsh."

The song finds Madonna at her most primal and animalistic. Speaking with Sirius XM Radio, she revealed that MDNA resulted from her need to unleash some serious pent-up emotions. ''I felt like a caged animal. I felt like I had to scream. I had to get some things off my chest," she said, adding, ''There's something simple and primal and direct about playing guitar and singing."
