Ryan added, “Also, let’s preface it with the fact that they don’t license — that Madonna doesn’t just license the song, particularly that song.

It was a big deal to ask for it and certainly a bigger deal to use it. We went over and met with her and and sort of showed her how it was being used, and where, and why.” “She gave a great note,” Ryan continued (via People). “She watched it, and I’m not kidding, [she said], ‘You need to do this.’ And damn it, if she wasn’t like spot on.

We literally went into a new recording session within 48 hours to do this note. … It made the sequence better.” Madonna‘s son David Banda recently went viral with comments about his living situation.
