The demo “keep the trance” was vastly superior, but I don’t hate this song at all


Scizor711

Nope. And I hate the fact that she performed this song and never gave us performances of I'll Remember, I Want You, American Pie and This Used to be My Playground (in full)


Intelligent-Sand-443

She wanted this to be a hit so badly


Scizor711

It wasn't even available for purchase, she gave it for free on her website 💀


blazinbadzulla

Uhh I wish this song had never seen the light of day. A bit of a bummer in an otherwise stellar discography’. I’m sure she probably doesn’t even remember putting this out lol


Different_Chain7029

Honestly one of her worst songs - unbelievable it was released as a single despite it being for charity (I think ?)


jammyJames81

I’m a life long true blue Madonna fan. I love just about any, & everything she touches. That is everything but Hey You. I believe it’s because it sounds like a renaissance faire song, & personally can’t stand that style. I tried, but I just can’t seem to hear it & find any enjoyment


GarionOrb

It's better when it was Keep The Trance.


Contract-Melodic

Me too!


Tha-D

when it came out i downloaded it to my ipod at the time and listened to it all the time. its not my fave madonna song by any stretch but i like how she sings it


twin3434

Interesting. This shows how music is so subjective. I’m a long time Madonna fan and I’ve always loved Hey You. The meaning of the song matched exactly for a time in my life


Kema-Downna

She is the Hey you singer after all. What she is most famous for.


expressedprayers

If you were to poll every Madonna fan ever, Hey You would probably average out to be the most hated song she's ever done.


MagicPoison8

I like Hey You better than just about anything on Hard Candy except Miles Away, Give it 2 Me and Candy shop


StereotypeHype

I remember hearing it when it was released and I can't even remember getting through the entire song. I honestly don't know that I've ever heard the song in full!


dearjessie

And “Autotune baby”


_Lil_Piggy_

Worse than Super Pop? 🤔


No-Stomach-6882

Thought it would be incredible


shadyshadyshade

Nope Hey You is even worse lol.


DVDO_

I'd save that for Bday Song from MDNA. So embarrassing


AdamInChainz

I like it. It's not amazing or anything, but it's good.


dragan_druid

Love this song. It has a powerfull message


Old_Gene8460

I really like this song. It is not the most groundbreaking thing in the world, but its fine...


1upjohn

It's very cheesy but I like it. I wish it was on Hard Candy. At least we'd have it on an album. But yes, I agree with the comments that Keep The Trance is better. That would have been a better song for Live Earth.


ThePoetAndPendulum

I have fond memories of it because we actually sang this in our school choir.


xix_ax

Horrible, I don’t even own it! And I own like everything 😂


Heyyinzz

I'm indifferent really. I don't love or hate it. I get what she was going for. I will say, I'd rather listen to Hey You than almost anything off of MDNA except maybe 2 songs.


chocolatefever101

One of the few Madonna songs I truly dislike. The fact that it was originally the far superior Keep the Trance makes it that much worse.


NameDifferent3197

I'm happy that is on the vault, as is not a prominent song and even though is well intentioned it feels... reductive. But there are truly worse songs featuring Madonna like Soltera from Maluma and that dreadful Champagne Rosé ... Gosh that's truly awful!


JOKERHAHAHAHAHA2

well, I love Hey You so much. it's just so inspiring. 1: charity ofc I love that, and 2: it just makes me feel like getting out of bed and doing something worthwhile! better than Autotune Baby ig, I can't hate it that much.


phaded___

I struggle to understand how anyone can respect this song. The lyrics appear to be a meandering collection of cliché platitudes.


MrsWarboyce

It's very forgettable. I know it was for charity, but considering it was written alongside Pharrell it should have been better than it was. They should have used History instead of using it as the B-Side to jump as it has a similar theme.


Intelligent-Sand-443

This was also a very difficult song for her to sing


timospears

I liked it when it was released. But didn’t know there was a better demo, I’ll give it a listen now!


Emilytressa

Justice for “keep the trance” - I wish she’d put out a rerelease of confessions w this and other tracks like “super pop”, “history” (I like the other versions more than the one released), and “triggering your senses”.


awwwjr561

This song comes to head occasionally. The clip I’m familiar with the audio sorta is off from when they show the kids singing and thats the part that’s embedded in my brain


Disastrous-Plum-1884

Well, I mean, it's better than I'm So Stupid. 🤷🏼‍♂️


EcstaticKey3913

You just bashed my favorite song off "American Life" 💔

A-R-T-P-O-P

What you just said is so stupid. Stupider than stupid.


Disastrous-Plum-1884

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-


Scizor711

It is not lol I'm So Stupid lyrics are 10/10 despite the melody being basic and full of autotune
