Madonna’s “Like A Virgin” was a saucy pop classic that seemed like it was about a young girl in love. The song, however, is about a man going through a breakup. Lyricist Bill Steinberg said, “I wasn’t just trying to get that racy word ‘virgin’ in a lyric. I was saying… that I may not really be a virgin — I’ve been battered romantically and emotionally like many people — but I’m starting a new relationship and it just feels so good, it’s healing all the wounds and making me feel like I’ve never done this before, because it’s so much deeper and more profound than anything I’ve ever felt.”
