Madonna demo LIKE A VIRGIN original singer and writer himself Steinberg Kelly. Madonna didn't change it at all even the oooh and aaahhhh but she sounds much better with Madonna's version as she had the high-pitched voice "Like a Virgin" is a song recorded by Madonna for her second studio album of the same name (1984). It was released on October 31, 1984, by Sire Records as the album's lead single. 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. Rodgers initially felt that the song did not have a sufficient hook, but subsequently changed his opinion after the song was stuck in his head. "Like a Virgin" is a dance song with two hooks. Madonna's voice is heard in a high register while a continuous arrangement of synths is heard along the bassline. The song's lyrics are ambiguous, consisting of hidden innuendos and open to various interpretations. "Like a Virgin" received positive reviews from music critics, who frequently called it as one of the defining songs for Madonna. It became her first number-one single on the record charts in Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States, while reaching the top ten elsewhere. "Like a Virgin" has sold over six million copies worldwide.
