Featuring guest vocals from Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, the song was co-written and co-produced by Madonna, Diplo, and British electronic musician and PC Music co-hort, Sophie, with additional writers including MoZella, Toby Gad, Ariel Rechtshaid and Minaj. It was released as the third single from the album by Interscope Records on June 15, 2015, along with a number of remixes commissioned. An EDM and vaporwave song, Madonna sings "Bitch I'm Madonna" in a nasal tone while talking about having continuous fun because she is "Madonna". The singer defended the profuse use of the word "bitch", explaining that depending on the context, its meaning is not necessarily vulgar. The song divided music critics, as some called it "energetic", applauding Minaj's rap verse and the unusual composition, while others criticized it for being a "desperate to shock" endeavor. In the United States, "Bitch I'm Madonna" became the first Madonna song to enter the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in three years, peaking at number 84. The song became Minaj's 63rd and Madonna's 57th Hot 100 entry, placing them at positions three and four on the list of women with the most entries on the chart. It also reached number-one on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart, extending Madonna's lead as the artist with the most number-ones on the US dance chart. Worldwide, the song has reached the top-thirty in Hungary, and the digital charts of Finland and Sweden. The song's accompanying video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, has Minaj and Diplo appearing along with Madonna. The video also contains cameos from Rita Ora, Chris Rock, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, and Kanye West. It was shot at the Standard Hotel in New York City and shows Madonna and her entourage having a party throughout the building, ending at the rooftop. The release of the video to the streaming service, Tidal, was plagued by technical difficulties and was met with a mixed response. Critics complimented the craziness of the clip but panned the absence of the guest stars from the set. Additionally, comparisons ensued with then recently released music video for singer Taylor Swift's single "Bad Blood", which had featured similar guest stars. In order to further promote the song, Madonna performed "Bitch I'm Madonna" during her appearance on ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'', in a similar crazy-themed performance, which received positive reviews for the choreography and Madonna's dancing. ==Background and development== In February 2014, Madonna announced that she had begun working on her thirteenth studio album, saying "I'm right now in the process of talking to various co-writers and producers and talking about where I want to go with my music". By the next month she started posting a number of images on social media website Instagram, where she hinted at possible songwriters and collaborators with hashtag captions. Two months later, Madonna posted a selfie where she talked about working with American DJ Diplo. Madonna had invited him to her annual Oscar party, but he was unable to attend. They eventually started talking about music through texts and decided to collaborate on the album. In an interview with Idolator, Diplo explained that Madonna had asked him to provide his "craziest record" for the album. Together they wrote and recorded seven songs and Diplo added that "() was up for anything. I love when an artist gives a producer the confidence he needs to work with them, and () was very open-minded to my ideas. Those records are gonna be crazy-sounding. We really pushed the envelope with some of the stuff we were doing." One of the tracks recorded was confirmed by Diplo as titled "Bitch I'm Madonna", which he believed would push his boundaries of songwriting. Madonna explained that the phrase was new to her and was introduced by Diplo, who explained that anyone who could remain cool when faced with criticism was appropriating Madonna, hence it was not just a unique reference to the singer. The origin of the song's idea was traced back to rapper Lil B's 2010 song, "Pretty Boy Farmer", which presented the lyrics "I look like Madonna / Bitch, I'm a farmer". Diplo took this idea to Madonna and developed a song which addressed the singer's detractors, who spoke negatively about her longevity in the music industry, adding "We made this record about, 'Fuck it, bitch, we're all Madonna'". He also insisted that they recruit Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, who had previously worked with Madonna on two songs from her ''MDNA'' album. Diplo explained to ''Interview'' magazine that the song's composition happened while they were drinking one night in the studio. There he played Madonna a Japanese pizzicato melody and a drop, which she liked. Since Madonna preferred to start her compositions on guitar, Diplo added guitar sounds over the melody and then progressed with the writing. Another Instagram post by Madonna confirmed Minaj's involvement in the track, with the photo caption "We go hard or we go home we gon' do this all night long! #werk". Madonna commented about her method working with Minaj:
