Celebration – Madonna

Product Description

Celebration - Madonna(#ad)

The all-time queen of pop dance and America's sweetheart Madonna released “Papa Don’t Preach” on June 11, 1986, from her third studio album True Blue.

The track was hated by feminists and adored by pro-lifers as it tells a story of a girl being dominated by men starting with her father.

It sources out the fact that motherhood should be celebrated no matter the circumstances and since the era this track was released tramped on the then belief of a woman.

Madonna sang her heart out telling the world that women should be whatever they want without being controlled.

In the song, the girl refuses to let go of her true love and deciding her own future, contrary to what her father wants.

“Papa Don’t Preach" was a commercial success and it performed well internationally by becoming to on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and it's video was directed by James Foley.

The track received both positive and negative reviews from established critics and in 1987, “Papa Don’t Preach” scored a nomination for the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 29th Grammy Awards, but lost to Barbra Streisand.

1987 saw her premiere the track live during the Who’s That Girl tour and upon dedicating the song to the then Pope, she made enemies at the Vatican.

She performed again in Japan on June 22, 1987, and Italy in September the same year. In 2004 and 2012, she performed live during the Re-invention World Tour and the MDNA Tour (where she pulled down her bra and exposed her nipple) respectively.

It has sold over 1 million copies in the US only and over 51 million YouTube views and counting. So far, she has faced several lawsuits and left the world in awe by lip-locking with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 award show.

Madonna - Papa Don't Preach - Lyrics

Release Date - June 11, 1986

Album - True Blue

Papa I know you're going to be upset

'Cause I was always your little girl

But you should know by now

I'm not a baby

You always taught me right from wrong

I need your help, daddy please be strong

I may be young at heart

But I know what I'm saying

The one you warned me all about

The one you said I could do without

We're in an awful mess

And I don't mean maybe, please

Papa don't preach I'm in trouble deep

Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep

But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, hm

I'm gonna keep my baby, hm

He says that he's going to marry me

We can raise a little family

Maybe we'll be all right

It's a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up

Saying I'm too young, I ought to live it up

What I need right now is some good advice, please

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep

Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep

But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, hm

I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh ooh

Daddy, daddy if you could only see

Just how good he's been treating me

You'd give it some blessing right now

'Cause we are in love

We are in love (in love), so please (so)

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep

Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep

But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, hm

I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh ooh

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep

Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep

Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep

Papa don't preach (Oh, I'm gonna keep my baby)

Papa don't preach (Ooh)

Papa don't preach (Don't you stop loving me daddy)

Papa don't preach (I know I'm keeping my baby)
