What It Feels Like for a Girl

1. PREUSMJERI Predložak:Infookvir singl

"What It Feels Like for a Girl" je treći i posljednji singl američke pjevačice Madonne s njezinog osmog studijskog albuma Music. Singl je izdan 17. travnja 2001. pod Maverick Recordsom. Izdan je i kao DVD i VHS izdanje s glazbenim videom koji je izazvao buru reakcija. Inače, videospot je režirao Madonnin tadašnji suprug Guy Ritchie, a emitiranje mu je dopušteno tek nakon 21h zbog scena nasilja. Pjesma je uključena na kompilaciju najvećih hitova GHV2 (2001.).

O pjesmi

Tekst za pjesmu napisali su Madonna i Guy Sigsworth, a kao producent se osim njih dvoje pojavljuje i Mark "Spike" Stent. Pjesma sadrži početni dio s uvodom koji govori glumica Charlotte Gainsbourg, a tekst je iz filma koji je snimljen po knjizi Iana McEwana The Cement Garden.

Španjolska verzija pjesme snimljena je posebno za B-stranu singla. "Lo Que Siente la Mujer" je pušten kao promotivni singl u Europi. Kasnije se pjesma našla na meksičkoj verziji albuma, zajedno s remiksom istoimene pjesme koji je zamijenio "American Pie". Madonna je pjesmu izvela na Drowned World Tour 2001.

Maxi singl sadrži remikse sastava Above & Beyond te Paula Oakenfolda koji su bili vrlo popularni u klubovima.

Zbog prevelikog nasilja, spot se ne emitira na TV postajama

Pjesma je većinu pažnje privukla zahvaljujući videospotu, zabranjenom na mnogim TV kućama. Režirao ga je Madonnin tadašnji suprug Guy Ritchie u veljači 2001. U spotu se pojavljuje remiks sastava Above & Beyond, a ne izvorna inačica.

Kritike su stizale o prevelikom nasilju koji se nalazi u spotu. Madonna je branila svoje djelo time što je govorila da njene muške kolege rade iste (ako ne i gore) spotove i za njih nema zamjerke. MTV i VH 1 emitiraju video u kasnim satima i to vrlo rijetko.

Video je izdan i kao DVD singl.
