The song is symbolic due to its lyrics regarding young rebelliousness, referencing teenage pregnancy and abortion. The song itself was both a critical and commercial success for Madonna. It received positive reviews, and became Madonna’s fourth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. Like many of Madonna’s music, the song also sparked a bit of controversy. Conservative groups argued that Madonna was encouraging teenage pregnancy, as well as young rebelliousness; while groups against abortion labeled the song “pro-life.” The song also sparked a conflict with the Vatican, in which Madonna dedicated the song to Pope John Paul II, and in return, the Vatican urged Italian fans to boycott her “Who’s That Girl World Tour.”
