The man behind Madonna's next single 'Girls Gone Wild' has revealed how the track came about.

The track will be the second cut from the pop megastar's forthcoming album 'MDNA', and A&R executive Patrick Moxey has now revealed how he masterminded the track. It is the fruits of two Italian producers and a Canadian writer, all signed to Moxey's label Ultra Music.

Moxey told Billboard: "Obviously it’s huge for us. We have both the producer and the top-line writer; that’s 100% share."

The track is produced by Benny Benassi, best known for his 2003 hit 'Satisfaction', a robotic take on The Rolling Stones' track of the same name, along with his cousin Ale Benassi. Moxey reckoned that his aggressive style would "work well with some of the major American superstar artists".

The top-line melody was then written by Vancouver-based Jenson Vaughan, who has previously worked with Kelly Rowland and Snoop Dogg. Moxey said: "I was really attracted to his lyrics, and I feel Benassi in my bones, because those bass-driven tracks are so inspiring. It's a bit like cooking, like, 'Ooh, what would this sound like together?'"

He added: "A brilliant way to have hits is to create hits. When you have very talented people around you, you just make introductions, and maybe give them some direction. It’s the essence of the A&R process, but it’s so natural – it's not contrived."

Elsewhere on the album 'Ray Of Light' producer William Orbit has produced five tracks and disco house hero Martin Solveig has worked on four, with another track from the Benassi cousins, 'I'm Addicted', also making the cut.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not the best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...
