7 September 1987 saw the UK release of 'Causing a Commotion', the second single from the 'Who's That Girl' soundtrack. Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, the lyrics are inspired by the turbulent relationship between Madonna and then-husband Sean Penn. The song was positively received by critics, although not regarded as essential as her other 80s hits, and became another commercial success across the world, including #1 in Denmark, #2 in the US and #5 in the UK (her 14th and 15th consecutive Top 5 hit in the latter two countries respectively).

 

35 years on, what are your thoughts and memories of 'Causing a Commotion'?

 

Its a bop and should have been on finally enough love !!

It's such an amazing song. I really like it a lot.

Absolutely love it. Cheesy as hell but unashamedly so, and fabulous.

It's dated a little now, but I still have huge affection for it, and heard it on Radio 2 on Saturday.

I love it, the bridge and hook are so catchy and it's reminiscent of 'Into the Groove' in terms of lyrics and energy.
