Artists such as The Rolling Stones and Madonna seem to thrive on pushing the envelope.
Madonna, of course, has built a career on controversy, from “Papa Don’t Preach” to “Like a Prayer” . The lyrics to “Justify My Love” are tame by today’s standards: “I don’t want to be your mother/ I don’t want to be your sister either/ I just want to be your lover.” And there’s this smart line: “Poor is the man/ Whose pleasures depend/ On the permission of another.”
But, again, it was the video, more than the song itself, that caused the drama. The video contained imagery of sadomasochism, voyeurism and bisexuality, which resulted in it being banned from MTV. That, of course, was the jet fuel this needed to become a smash. The clip was released as a video single and became the first short-form video to be certified multiplatinum by the RIAA. The song also became Madonna’s ninth No. 1 on the Hot 100.
Three years later, Lady Gaga topped the Hot 100 for six weeks with “Born This Way,” which was more progressive . Perry has heard the criticisms of the song that made her a star and agrees, at least in part. In a 2018 interview with , she said if she could do it all over again, she would rewrite a few of the song’s lyrics. “Lyrically, it has a couple of stereotypes in it. Your mind changes so much in 10 years, and you grow so much. What’s true for you can evolve.
