“Gang Bang” is Madonna’s Tarantino moment: a cold-blooded revenge story set to EDM and dubstep.

The Song


Produced with William Orbit and The Demolition Crew, it builds to a dubstep breakdown. Its language earned the album a Parental Advisory label; the clean edition leaves it out altogether.

On Stage


On the MDNA Tour it became a violent, cinematic set piece in a motel room.
