Born and raised in Michigan, Madonna moved to New York City in 1978 to pursue a career in modern dance. After performing as a drummer, guitarist, and vocalist in the rock bands Breakfast Club and Emmy, she rose to solo stardom with her debut studio album, Madonna (1983). She followed it with a series of successful albums, including all-time bestsellers Like a Virgin (1984) and True Blue (1986) as well as Grammy Award winners Ray of Light (1998) and Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005). Madonna has amassed many number-one singles throughout her career, including "Like a Virgin", "La Isla Bonita", "Like a Prayer", "Vogue", "Take a Bow", "Frozen", "Music", "Hung Up", and "4 Minutes".
Madonna's popularity was enhanced by roles in films such as Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), Dick Tracy (1990), A League of Their Own (1992), and Evita (1996). While Evita won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, many of her other films received poor reviews. As a businesswoman, Madonna founded the company Maverick in 1992; it included Maverick Records, one of the most successful artist-run labels in history. Her other ventures include fashion brands, children's books, health clubs, and filmmaking. She contributes to various charities, having founded the Ray of Light Foundation in 1998 and Raising Malawi in 2006.
With sales of over 300 million records worldwide, Madonna is certified as the best-selling female recording artist of all time by Guinness World Records. She is the most successful solo artist in the history of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and holds the record for the most number-one singles by a female artist in Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. With a revenue of U.S. $1.5 billion from her concert tickets, she remains the highest-grossing solo touring artist of all time. Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, her first year of eligibility. She was ranked as the greatest woman in music by VH1 in 2012, and as the greatest music video artist of all time by MTV in 2003 and Billboard in 2020. Rolling Stone also listed Madonna among the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.

Never Let You Go
Madonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like I'm living inside a dream
But I'm just dancing dancing with myself
You're from a different time
And I know that you can read my mind
But I'm still dancing dancing with myself
I'm not alone
I've made my decision won’t let you go
And my favorite part is left inside my heart
Holding you close
Because your energy is still a part of me
You know I love you the most
I'm not ashamed to say
I'll never let you go, let you go
I'll never let you go, let you go
I'll never let you
I feel your phantom touch
It's a pleasure, I need so much
Let's go dancing dancing with myself
Heaven's too far away
And my desire will make you stay
I'll keep on dancing dancing with myself
I'm not alone
I'll be dancing with this vision
I've made my decision won’t let you go
And my favorite part is left inside my heart
Holding you close
Because your energy is still a part of me
You know I love you the most
I'm not ashamed to say
I'll never let you go, let you go
I'll never let you go, let you go
I'll never let you go, let you go
I'll never let you go, let you go
I'll never let you go, let you go
I'll never let you go, let you go
I'll never let you go
In Madonna's song "Never Let You Go," the lyrics explore the theme of holding onto a love that has transcended time and continues to have a strong impact on the singer. The opening lines convey a sense of ambiguity and surrealism, as the singer feels like they are living in a dream but recognizes their solitude in the act of dancing alone. The lyrics suggest that the love interest is from a different era, emphasizing the belief that they can understand each other's thoughts. However, despite this connection, the singer remains independent and determined to cling onto this love, expressing a refusal to let go.
The chorus reinforces the message of unwavering commitment to the love interest. The singer acknowledges that they are not alone, as they are accompanied by a vision of this love that guides their actions. They have made the decision to hold onto this love and keep it cherished within their heart. The mention of the love interest's energy being a part of them highlights the profound impact this relationship has on their identity. The singer proudly declares their love for the love interest, affirming that they will never be ashamed to express their feelings and commitment.

You're from a different time
You come from a different era or period

I am aware that you can understand my thoughts and emotions
But I'm still dancing dancing with myself
