“Give It 2 Me” is a 2008 song by American pop singer Madonna. It was co-written and co-produced by Pharrell Williams. The track is the second single by Madonna to be released from her eleventh studio album “Hard Candy”.
USA Today’s Elysa Gardner called the song “thumping” and “breathless,” naming it one of the standout tracks of the album.
The video features Madonna singing in various back drops wearing some of the same outfits from the recent photo shoot for Elle magazine and also singing on a couch while Pharrell sings in some back drops with Madonna. Madonna also sings in a dance studio while dancing and singing in a black and white back drop.
The visual theme and her style is that of classic late 60’s/early 70’s retro-chic exemplified with long loose curls, matte make-up and little to no make-up color except nudes, beiges and light rose. The editing for this video ties in with the song in many areas with cuts and speeds.
