The secret behind Madonna’s 4 Minutes (+ music)

Bet you didn’t know this.

Madonna’s urgent new single, 4 Minutes, is about child adoption. It’s dedicated to her adopted son, David Banda.

In the song, she sings counterpoint with Justin: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions/If I died tonight at least I did what I wanted to do, tell me how about you?”

And then she sings: “Grab a boy!” and Justin echoes: “Grab a girl!” And they sing: “No hesitating! You only got 4 minutes to save the world!”

4 Minutes is Madonna’s Malawi-inspired single. I’m very happy she isn’t stooping to singing about … Youtube (hint, hint).
