"Give Me All Your Luvin' " is a song by American recording artist Madonna. It is the lead single from her upcoming 12th studio album MDNA and features guest vocals from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. The song was released on February 3, 2012 by Boy Toy, Inc., Live Nation and Interscope Records, however, a demo version of the song was leaked on November 8, 2011, under the name "Give Me All Your Love", resulting in a 31-year-old man from Spain being arrested for copyright violations.
Backed by bouncing synthesizers and marching drums, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" is a dance-pop song, with elements of such musical genres as New Wave, bubblegum pop, and disco. Upon its release, music commentators were polarized with the song. Its chorus was noted as a highlight by critics, who described it as catchy; however, music commentators felt that the musical composition was inferior to Madonna's previous singles. Commercially the single was a success, peaking at number one in Canada and Finland and inside the top ten in several European countries, Japan and South Korea. It became Madonna's 38th top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, extending her record as the artist with most top-ten singles in the chart history. An accompanying music video was filmed in December 2011, directed by MegaForce.
The official remix, which features LMFAO in place of M.I.A., is dubbed the "Party Rock Remix", and will soon be featured in the EA Sports game, FIFA Street shortly after the game's launch, and on the deluxe edition of MDNA.

Background
In December 2010, Madonna posted a message on her Facebook, exclaiming: "Its official! I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music! Music I can dance to. I'm on the lookout for the maddest, sickest, most badass people to collaborate with. I'm just saying". Madonna has stated she wanted to work with M.I.A. and Minaj on the track as they were both strong, independent girls with a unique voice, and that she liked their music and what they represented. She paid tribute to the stars, saying "They're not conventional pop stars and I really admire them both. I love both of them actually. M.I.A. felt that the collaboration was an achievement her mother would be proud of, "way [more] than me putting "Galang" out in a club." M.I.A. told BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe that she evaluated Madonna as an original artist. She said: "As musicians, we're two women and we represent two opposite sides of the world. If we can come together on a piece of music or something like the Super Bowl, I feel like that’s actually a cool thing to see."
On November 8, 2011, two snippets of the demo leaked on the web. Later that day, the entire demo of the song, as "Give Me All Your Love," was leaked onto the Internet. According to Billboard: "Within a few hours, it was among one of the top 10 trending topics worldwide on Twitter." After the release of the demo, Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary, wrote on Twitter, "The plan was for new music to come out in the new year. I'm very happy with the positive reaction to the demo, but we are very upset with whoever leaked the song!!!!!!!! we are asking that the fans please help us police any more leaks. we have a lot in store for you. but please respect the process." The leaked demo lacked vocals from both Minaj and M.I.A. M.I.A. confirmed the collaboration of all three in a tweet saying she had been summoned to New York City on November 29, 2011. On December 22, 2011, the police arrested a 31-year-old man from Spain who reportedly leaked the demo. They confirmed the suspect's initials as J.M.R. and described him as "a big Madonna fan"; they found recordings of the song in his belongings. It was confirmed by The Huffington Post that the person didn't seek to profit from the release. He was charged with leaking the unpublished song and later was subsequently released.
On January 29, 2012, Interscope Records announced that the song will be titled "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and that it would be released on February 3, 2012. The song was written by Madonna, Martin Solveig, Minaj, and M.I.A; composed by Solveig and Michael Tordjman and produced by Madonna and Solveig. The track was her debut single from her 360 deal with Live Nation Entertainment which was signed in 2007. Through this contract, Madonna and Live Nation signed a three-album deal with Intdrscope Records, who will market and distribute the single and the studio album. "Give Me All Your Luvin'" was sent to United States Mainstream radio on February 7, 2012.
COMPOSITION
"Give Me All Your Luvin'" is a dance-pop song, with elements of bubblegum pop, synthpop , New Wave, and disco. The song starts with Madonna uttering a cheer: "L-U-V MADONNA Y-O-U YOU WANNA".The vocal tone of the chant is reminiscent to Gwen Stafani's single "Hollaback Girl" (2005) and "Mickey" (1982) by Toni Basil. A "polished 60s shakedown" succeeds the chant, which is backed by bouncing synthesizers and hard drums. Priya Elan of NME said that resembles Madonna's own songs "Beautiful Stranger", "Amazing" and the songs on her albums Ray of Light (1998) and Hard Candy (2008). "Give Me All Your Luvin'" is written in the key of D♭ major and has a moderately fast tempo of 144 beats per minute. It follows the chord progression of D♭–G♭–A♭.
The chorus of the song follows, which Madonna executes in a high-pitched voice: "Don't play the stupid game / Cause I’m a different kind of girl / Every record sounds the same / You’ve got to step into my world / Give me all your luvin', give me your love / Give me all your love today." Entertainment Weekly's Lanford Beard commented that the song "blends Katy Perry-meets-Gwen Stefani chanting, echoes of Ashlee Simpson's regrettable foray into New Wave-y synth-guitar sounds, and a 'Hold It Against Me' redux breakdown." John Mitchell of MTV Newsroom commented that the instrumentation of the song consists of "glittery synths, marching band drums, claps and a catchy-as-hell chorus." Lewis Corner of Digital Spy called the song an "'80s-inspired electro-thumper complete with a cheerleader chant of 'L-U-V Madonna!'" After the second chorus, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" features a breakdown influenced by dubstep. Minaj raps her verse at a rapid pace as her alter-ego Roman Zolanski: "You can be my boy, you can be my boy toy / In the nick of time, I can say a sicker rhyme / Cause it's time for change, like a nickel or a dime / I'm Roman, I'm a barbarian, I'm Conan." The tempo subsequently decreases as M.I.A raps her verses.
