You Never Knew What These Misunderstood Songs Were Really About

‘Like a Virgin’ – Madonna

Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” might sound like it’s about a young woman’s first time having sex, especially with her wearing a wedding dress in the ’80s. However, it was actually written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly about the vulnerability of starting a new relationship.

Steinberg explained that he felt like he had been through emotional hardships, but this new love made him feel like a “virgin” again, experiencing something deep and profound.
