Miles Away (Madonna song)
"Miles Away" is a song by American singer and songwriter Madonna from her eleventh studio album, ''Hard Candy''. It was first released as a promotional single in Japan, during June 2008, as the theme for the Fuji Television Japanese drama, ''Change''. The song was released by Warner Bros. Records, as the third and final single from the album on October 17, 2008, and was subsequently included on her compilation album, ''Celebration'' (2009). Written by Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Nate "Danja" Hills, "Miles Away" is a melancholy electronic ballad, which according to Madonna is autobiographical, and is inspired by her then husband Guy Ritchie. Lyrically, the song deals with long-distance relationships.
"Miles Away" has received positive appreciation from music critics for being a harmonious and meaningful ballad. It reached the top forty in most countries, while peaking inside the top ten in Czech Republic, Netherlands, Hungary, Japan, Slovakia and Spain. It became the best-selling digital single of 2008 in Japan and won three trophies at the 23rd Japan Gold Disc Awards. In the United States, the song did not appear on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, but became Madonna's seventh consecutive number-one song on the Hot Dance Airplay chart, the most for any artist. The song has been performed by Madonna in the promotional tour for the ''Hard Candy'' album and the 2008–09 Sticky & Sweet Tour, during the gypsy segment of the show.
==Writing and inspiration==
The music for "Miles Away" was the first song of ''Hard Candy'' to be composed. After hearing it, Madonna began singing and writing the lyrics for the song. In an interview with MTV, Madonna said that the song was inspired by her then husband, Guy Ritchie. "So many people have to deal with long-distance relationships. It's not easy. You have to work hard to make it work." When asked if the song was autobiographical, she said:
Probably in many respects most of the songs (''Hard Candy'' ) are (). But in more of an unconscious way. I don't really think about telling personal stories when I'm writing music. It just comes. And then a lot of times, six months later, eight months later, I go, "Oh, that's what I wrote that song about." But that's when I play the song for lots of people and they all go, 'Oh, I can totally relate to that'. In 'Miles Away' I'm tapping into the global consciousness of people who have intimacy problems.
In an interview with ''The Daily Telegraph'' Madonna further explained her inspiration behind the song and stated that "(Away' is ) a song most people who work can relate to. If part of your work is travelling, and the person you are with also works and travels, you find yourself separated a lot and it can be very frustrating, () I'm American and he () is British, and I have to come to America all the time. () Especially at the beginning of our relationship, that long-distance thing was very frustrating. I also think it's easier for people to say things from a distance; it's safer."
