Background
The song compares pop singers Christina Aguilera, Pink, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue, with the lyrics ultimately expressing a preference for Madonna. Songwriter Tim Henwood told The Age that he wrote "'Do It with Madonna' in 20 minutes and recorded a demo between midnight and 5am. He said that he had been careful not to insult the singers mentioned in the song. Madonna later requested a copy of the song for review and "loves it".
