"Heartbeat" is a song by Madonna from her eleventh studio album Hard Candy.

Background[]

In this song Madonna states that she is an independent woman so when she’s down there’s no one but herself to help.

Composition[]

The song has Madonna singing breathlessly and also features an interlude where the music changes from its normal rhythm, just the sound of drums.

Lyrics[]

On any given night, catch me on the floor
Working up a sweat, that's what music's for
I'd rather not explain, for me, it's just usual

You can catch me poppin' that, droppin' that
(Once I get going I am gone)
Ain't no stoppin' that, are you watchin' that?
You can catch me poppin' that, droppin' that
(I'll keep it going all night long)
Ain't no stoppin' that, are you watching that?

You know I feel it in my heartbeat
It may feel old to you but to me it feels new
You know I feel it in my heartbeat
Don't you know? Can't you see? When I dance I feel free

Which makes me feel like the only one
The only one that the light shines on
(Hey!)

This complicated life, I try to do my best
I always tell myself it's all just a test
For me it's an escape â€~cause dancing make you beautiful
(Come on)

And I can't pretend, it should never end
(Once I am moving I'm alright)
Let the music play, are you watchin' that?
You can catch me poppin' that, it should never end
(I'll keep on dancing through the night)
Let the music play 'cause I'm here to stay

You know I feel it in my heartbeat
It may feel old to you but to me it feels new
You know I feel it in my heartbeat
Don't you know? Can't you see? When I dance I feel free

Which makes me feel like the only one
(The only one, the only one)
The only one that the light shines on
(Hey!)

See my booty get down like
(Come on, uh)
See my booty get down like
(Lower, uh)
See my booty get down like
(Little lower baby, uh)

Uh, get down
(Uh)
Uh uh, get down
(Come on, uh)
See my booty get down like

You probably think I'm crazy, I don't want you to save me
Don't mean to disappoint you, I've never felt so free
If you could stand in my shoes, then you would feel my heartbeat too

You can catch me poppin' that, droppin' that
(Once I am moving I'm alright)
Ain't no stoppin' that, are you watchin' that?
You can catch me poppin' that, droppin' that
(I can keep on going through the night)
Ain't no stoppin' that, are you watching that?

You know I feel it in my heartbeat
It may feel old to you but to me it feels new
You know I feel it in my heartbeat
Don't you know? Can't you see? When I dance I feel free

Which makes me feel it in my heartbeat
(The only one, the only one)
It may feel old to you but to me it feels new
You know I feel it in my heartbeat
Don't you know? Can't you see? When I dance I feel free

Which makes me feel like the only one
(The only one, the only one)
The only one that the light shines on

Girl!, M-Dolla, M-Dolla
