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.

Madonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Takes up all of my time
If I can get to the weekend
Everything will work out just fine
That's when I can go crazy
That's when I can have fun
Time to be with my baby
Time to come undone
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Couldn't wait to get older
Thought I'd have so much fun
I guess I'm one of the grown-ups
Now I have to get the job done
People give me the business
I'm not living in fear
I'm just living in chaos
Gotta get away from here
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Don't want to grow old too fast
Don't want to let the system get me down
I've got to find a way to make the good times last
And if you'll show me how, I'm ready now
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now
Where's the party (where's the party)
Where's the party (where's the party), someone tell me
Where's the party (where's the party), come on, come on, come on
Where's the party (where's the party)
Don't want to grow old too fast
Don't want to let the system get me down
I've got to find a way to make the good times last
And if you'll show me how, I'm ready now
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now
Where's the party (where's the party)
Where's the party (where's the party), someone tell me
Where's the party (where's the party), come on, come on, come on
Where's the party (where's the party)

Trabalho de segunda a sexta
Working monday through friday
Ocupa todo o meu tempo
Takes up all of my time
Se eu puder chegar ao fim de semana
If I can get to the weekend
Tudo vai dar certo
Everything will work out just fine
É quando eu posso enlouquecer
That's when I can go crazy
É quando eu posso me divertir
That's when I can have fun
Hora de estar com meu bebê
Time to be with my baby
Hora de se desfazer
Time to come undone
Cadê a festa, quero libertar minha alma
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Cadê a festa, quero perder o controle
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Cadê a festa, quero libertar minha alma
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Cadê a festa, quero perder o controle
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Mal podia esperar para envelhecer
Couldn't wait to get older
Pensei que me divertiria tanto
Thought I'd have so much fun
Acho que sou um dos adultos
Guess I'm one of the grown-ups
Agora eu tenho que fazer o trabalho
Now I have to get the job done
As pessoas me dão o negócio
People give me the business

I'm not living in fear
Eu só estou vivendo no caos
I'm just living in chaos
Tenho que fugir daqui
Gotta get away from here

Boy this takes me back again. I have heard this track EVERY Christmas Eve since it came out, for real. I remember hearing it in the late 80s on the Eve and not having a party to go to but it still made me feel okay. Been a tradition since for me. Just one of those personal things we have. Tonite is Christmas Eve and I was humming this all day!! Haha. Thank you Madonna.
