After you do all your reacts to this album, go back and listen to it in entirety, all at once. It's the only way to appreciate this album imo. I personally love this song. But, I love almost every single song on this album except Fever (just because it's a remake) and the last song. Idk why I always skip that one.

I completely agree with you. It's not 10s or a fire bop but i would not skip it while listening to the whole album. It's okay, i get the demo-ish quality as well. I agree. I guess it works with the flow of the album after 3 more laid back slower songs and with Where Life Begins and Waiting both leaning more towards the jazzy hip hop side of things to switch it up with this house/ pop -Dance song. It has its fans though.

If you read the diaries of Shep Pettibone about this album, Shep told that Madonna wanted a dark, less polished and and a raw edge. This was her first time who she have a bitch attitude, before ''Human Nature'', ''She Not Me'', ''Bitch i'm Madonna''. He told that he and Madonna transfered most of the demos demonstrations to the final product for most of the songs of this album, that was in intentional by Madonna. If you listen most of the songs of this album, you hear this raw, dark and demos-ish production and that was her decision. ''In This Life'' was the most evident, the demo was identical to the final product except one thing adding later to complete the feel of the song. And wait for ''Words'', one of the best lyrical songs, so relevent. she continued also her bitch attitude with the next song of this album.

Although it may sound like an 80s leftover, the subject matter was very current for Madonna. The line “Here she comes, thinks she can have his child, well anybody can do it” is most probably autobiographical. Two of Madonna’s exes had their first child around the time this was recorded. Sean Penn & Robin Wright’s first child was born on April 13, 1991. Warren Beaty and Annette Bening’s on January 8, 1992. Ironically, it would be another 6 years before Madonna gave birth to her first child. Speaking of… I haven’t have the chance to say congrats to the proud parents and a very warm welcome to baby Empress 😘

I think the Erotica album was attempting to ride high on the success of Justify My Love. Most of those songs sound very reminiscent of the two singles from "Immaculate Collection". As for this song... I sort of agree with you. As someone who dabbles in music production, I can hear so many things I'd do differently for this song. It does sound rather demo-ish. Not Madonna's best material, in my opinion.

I love the salty lyrics of this one ("Here she comes, little miss thinks she can have his child, well anybody can do it / Here she comes Little Susie-Ho-Maker thinks she'll get respect if she screws it") and you can tell Madonna is PISSED. But again, another one she never sang live.

But both of these songs in particular really sound the most dated… they remind me of the iconic Streets of Rage soundtrack back in the Sega Genesis days. Very tinny and video-game like in sound, very icy and sinister in atmosphere. All I can say is, going from this album to Bedtime Stories will give you whiplash. They sound a lot further than 2 years apart.

I enjoy this song as an album track. As part of the texture of the listen when the whole album is taken as one piece. But it’s very background and overly long and a bit too repetitive. More about the character flex than the music itself. And a possibly autobiographical moment in relations to Warren and Annette Benning… a theme she’ll return to on a 2000s song too! It’s a classic tale of the edgy girl losing out to “little Susie homemaker”. This song is definitely part of the influential vibe, but not revolutionary like the best on this album.

Yeah, I didn't predict you'd like it much. "Thief of Hearts" is corny as hell. "Which leg do you want me to break?" Woman, are you serious?! Get gone with that wannabe Jo Polniaczek 80s episode of Facts of Life rhetoric. Embarrassing. Not only that, it's probably the most dated song on an already overall dated sounding album. Then the irony of Madonna calling another woman a ho is conspicuous. That being said, when the album was released, this was actually one of my favorite tracks on it. I remember thinking it should be a single. I was only 13 at the time, so there you go. But that was then. Time hasn't been good to this song. And the next track isn't much better.
