“Bitch I’m Madonna” is the third single from American singer Madonna from her thirteenth studio album, Rebel Heart (2015).
Featuring guest vocals from Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj.
The song was written by Madonna, Diplo, MoZella, Toby Gad and Ariel Rechtshaid while being produced by the singer along with Diplo and Sophie. It was released as the third single from the album by Interscope Records on June 15, 2015.
Its music video followed two days later, with Minaj and Diplo appearing along with Madonna. The video also contains cameos from Alexander Wang, Rita Ora, Chris Rock, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, and Kanye West.
Filming took place on the top floors of the Standard Hotel in New York City, and was directed by Jonas Åkerlund who explained how he landed the project:
‘Madonna called me about ‘Ghosttown’. We hadn’t worked for a while because of different circumstances so when I heard all the songs [on Rebel Heart], I was very excited about ‘Ghosttown’. I connected to it creatively. And, yeah, we enjoyed working together. I was supposed to start something else right after and that got pushed and she asked me to do ‘Bitch I’m Madonna’. I saw it being so completely different from ‘Ghosttown’, something a little bit less serious, just fun and crazy.

(Cuz I’m a bad bitch)[Verse 1: Madonna]
We hit the elevator right up to the rooftop
The bass is pumping make me wanna screw the top off
Yeah, we’ll be drinking and nobody’s gonna stop us
And we’ll be kissing anybody that’s around us[Pre-Chorus 1: Madonna]
I just wanna have fun tonight (blow up this shit tonight)
Put me under the flashing light
Ohhhhh, let me blow up this house tonight
(Gonna blow up!)[Drop]
[Chorus: Madonna]
We go hard or we go home
We gon do this all night long
We get freaky if you want
Na nana na na na
We go hard or we go home
We gon do this all night long
We get freaky if you want
Bitch, I’m Madonna
(Bitch bitch, I’m Madonna)
(Bitch bitch, I’m Madonna)[Verse 2: Madonna]
We’re jumping in the pool and swimmin’ with our clothes on
I poured a beer into my shoe and got my freak on
The neighbor’s pissed and says he’s gonna call the Five-O
If they show up then we are gonna give a good show[Pre-Chorus 2: Madonna]
I just wanna go out tonight
Put me under the flashing light
Ohhhhh, let me blow up this house tonight
(Gonna blow up!)[Drop: Nicki Minaj]
(B-b-bitch move)[Chorus: Madonna]
We go hard or we go home
We gon do this all night long
We get freaky if you want
Na nana na na na
We go hard or we go home
We gon do this all night long
We get freaky if you want
Bitch, I’m Madonna
(Bitch, I’m Madonna)
(Bitch bitch, I’m Madonna)
(Bitch, I’m Madonna [repeat])[Bridge: Madonna]
Who do you think you are?
You can’t mess with this lucky star
Ohhhhh, who do you think you are?[Verse 3: Nicki Minaj]
Uh!
Poured up with my nose up
And that rosé up in that thinga
I’m froze up with my stove up
Cuz he eatin’ like it’s his dinner
I run shit, I don’t fall back
Cuz I’m on track, I’m a sprinter
I’m bossed up, I got ’em awestruck
It’s not a toss up, I’m the winner
Be-b-b-beep-beep, bitch, move
Before I bang-bang with that uzz
That’s Miu Miu on my shoes
Ain’t got a thing left for me to prove
It’s that bottle service all night
It’s that pop and urban just right
It’s that “go hard or go home” zone
Bitch, I’m Madonna, these hoes know[Chorus: Madonna]
We go hard or we go home
We gon do this all night long
We get freaky if you want
Na nana na na na
We go hard or we go home
We gon do this all night long
We get freaky if you want
Bitch, I’m Madonna[Hook 2: Madonna]
Ooooooooooh
(We do it like this)
Ooooooooooh
(You’re gonna love this)
Ooooooooooh
(You can’t touch this)
Ooooooooooh
(Cuz I’m a bad bitch)[Bridge 4: Madonna]
Who do you think you are?
(Cuz I’m a bad bitch)
Who do you think you are?
(Cuz I’m a bad bitch)
Who do you think you are?
(Cuz I’m a bad bitch)
Who do you think you are?![Outro: Nicki Minaj]
“Go hard or go home” zone, bitch
