The song was written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, and produced by Nile Rodgers; Steinberg said that the song was inspired by his personal experiences of romance. Like a Virgin" was chosen for Madonna by Michael Ostin of Warner Bros. Records after listening to a demo sung by Kelly.
Alex from Gatineau, CanadaDuring "Like A Virgin" album recording sessions, Nile Rodgers was unconvinced this song would fly as a single. He insisted the track was not strong enough as a dance track to be passable as the first single from Madonna's album. Rodgers preferred the peppy "Material Girl" as the album's first offering. and was proven the wiser.
Like a Virgin (оригинал Madonna). Как девственница (перевод ). I made it through the wilderness. Shiny and new. Свежей и чисто. ike a virgin. Как девственница, Touched for the very first time. Которая впервые оказывается в объятиях мужчины. Я чувствую себя девственницей, When your heart beats next to mine.
