So Madonna paved the way for the Electronica/EDM sound that of 2009-2011, she's ahead by half a decade with this song.

The instrumental is heavily underappreciated, especially the vocals she emits in the track. The track's lyrics are hit and miss. All in all, kick-ass tune .

I always wondered why this song received so much hate. To me it is a total masterpiece. Probably too innovative and original for a James Bond song. People prefer more generic Bond songs.

I agree. I think the fuss may have been that Madonna did not stick with the usual ballad theme songs that are featured in James Bond movies, but rather gave us an upbeat/clubby song instead. I think the song and video conveyed the good- vs-evil theme well, which is what Bond movies are all about. The psychological context--killing the ego--was a brilliant touch.

Die Another Day is my second favorite Madonna song of the 2000-2009 decade. I don't get why it got so much criticism. It was way ahead of its time.

Nobody ever seems to mention the setting for the fight sequences. Because Die Another Day was the 20th Bond movie, and the anniversary was very much part of the promotional campaign, this video showcases various characters and props from many of the Bond films going back to the beginning. The gallery they are fighting in is full of so many Easter eggs.

One thing you didn't mention is that "Die Another Day" video, produced by Traktor, is still to this day when adjusted for inflation, the second most expensive music video of all time, after Michael and Janet Jackson's "Scream". Interestingly, Madonna also holds #3 position with the much, much older "Express Yourself" video AND "Bedtime Story". Also, just something that's driving me a bit crazy (although it's a small thing): Mirwais is not pronounced "Mar-wee", it's closer to "Meer-ways". You can hear it here, where he's being introduced: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaGAwdmRf87Ik84.html

A big hit in Europe and one of the most expensive videos ever made. I love this song, and the concept of this video. I never get tired of watching it. It’s like a mini movie.

Sometimes I feel Madonna is too intelligent for her audience and it makes going back to her work so wonderful as you keep peeling away layers.

Despite hate, this song and vídeo was a total success worldwide. Even critics said "Finally, a creative JBond song"

I love how insightful your reviews are! I would recommend “Love Profusion” or “Hollywood” for the next Madonna reaction since they are from the “American Life” album too

This song is an electro-pop masterpiece !!!

Madonna has a cameo in the movie too...as a fencing instructor.

This is another of those great Madonna's songs which is so underrated.

Great song! For me Die Another Day Song is a sort of Duran Duran’s A View To a Kill for the 2000’s audiences. The combination of the modern bits with some strings (samplers or not) in the background reminds me that. Madonna made an interesting appearence in the movie, too. Great review!

You need to react next to “What It Feels Like for a Girl” video. It’s very edgy Madonna. Directed by her than husband Guy Ritchie and banned from MTV for being too violent. It’s a MUST see!

MADONNA PAVED THE WAY TO ALL THE NEW ARTISTS!!!!💯👌

This is among my favorite Madonna songs. I REALLY REALLY hoped seeing her in this light would have led to some action movie parts. I would have loved to see her play a kick-ass rogue agent or a vampire/demon hunter.

One of my Fav videos of hers. She acts sooo gdamn good in it. It's like a movie all on its own.

How: Read Hebrew letters from right to left. Pronounced: Lamed Alpeh Vav Meaning: Remove Ego.

Small fact : She used to own a synthesizer back in NY her early days when she was starting out but then it got stolen from her apartment so it’s a sound she’s been messing w for years and has mastered it!!!

This is one of the 5 most expensive music videos of all time!! A real bop!!

This is one of the all time best videos. Ever.

The song was the official one for 007 movie in 2003. Actually, Madonna appears on the movie!

Dereck, many thanks for this react. I love this title so much and think that her collaborations with Mirways on both Music and American life albums are just brillant.... We can tell she's The Queen in such sophisticated 2000' electro beats.

Madonna in the Movie as well as a Fencing Instructor making her a Bond girl.

The fighting segments between the two Madonna’s is my favorite part of the songs music video it’s so creative

It was main theme song..the video is homage to the film...the torture is a re-enactment of the opening of the movie..she had a role in the movie as a fencing instructor for bond and there were references to previous films with the cat-blowfeld, the spicked shoe-rosa klebb, you see the bowler hat-odd job and the golden gun-scaramanga, also the gold figure- goldfinger as this was 20th bond film she references previous bond villans/props etc. in video.

Hi Dereck, that is one of the 72 names of God which means "Great Escape".

I always loved this song from her. It still hits today!

One of her strongest videos, it is the best number on American Life! Physically here she is in top form... all the stretches and acrobatics!

Humourless James Bond fans mostly hate this song ( and that film to be fair) but I’ve always loved it

Not just Die Another Day, but the entire American Life album is based on Dialectics with references from psychoanalysis and social psychology. Dialectics that is not just a representational theory, but the reality that the theory represents: it is the DUALITY THAT COMPLEMENTS ITSELF (good x evil, courage x fear, strength x weakness, light x shadow, love x hate, equality x difference , etc.). Therefore, Madonna asks Sigmund Freud - the father of psychoanalysis - to analyze her. The fight is internal. She against herself. Her versus the part they played her. She in favor of what she is becoming through movement and action. The song speaks of the fear of life and yet the urge to survive. Death drive and life drive. Mutually complementary and feedback contradictions. A philosophical music involved in the best instruments and mechanisms of EDM at a time when R&B, Hiphop gangsta and new metal dominated. Virtue of the queen of pop.

Madonaaaaaaa 🧡💚💜♥️

Madonna is a very successful movie soundtracks artist : CRAZY FOR YOU (number 1 in the us 1985), LIVE TO TELL (number 1 in 1986), WHOS THAT GIRL (1987 and number 1 ) THIS USED TO BE A PLAYGROUND (1992 and also number 1 ) and BEAUTIFUL STRANGER for the AUSTIN POWER movie (number 19 with only airplay in 1999) so the James Bond producer want Madonna .Madonna always loves the strings in her work and with Mirwais it's a kind of electro and strings mixed .Madonna said that she loves Serge Gainsbourg work (french iconic singer from the 60s to late 80s)and it was all about the frenchies with the American Life era with Mirwais and also Michel Colombier for the strings who worked with the great Serge Gainsbourg back in the day .On AMERICAN LIFE the song EASY RIDE has a lot of beautiful strings by Colombier !Also in 2001 the song DONT TELL ME (huge hits and beautiful video ) was a Mirwais / Colombier collaboration

Not one of my fav Madonna songs but the video is amazing. She always goes above and beyond with the visuals.

This was a Making of the Video on MTV back when it was released. And when it was released, this was her 44th video/song she had released to date

Love seeing all these old school Madonna videos, makes me relive my adolescence all over again. I'm glad you're finding them and enjoying them.

Looooooooooooov this!!!!!!! Absolutely LOVE this woman.

Despite all her long time career and successes, I still think Madonna is THE most underrated artist of the last 5 decades or so. Maybe even EVER. She and her artistry confuses people over the years, and often misunderstood, as a result. I cannot think of another artist who is more of substance. And yet her intentions and her social commentaries over the years are not paid enough attention to, by the general public.

Thanks for this!!

One of the best bond song & video, coz the video itself is so physically exhausting with all the action going on.

Love this reaction bro!!! I remember when this song came out we were so obsessed about the video and her look , we were wonder what's next Madonna? and we danced that remix at the infamous "COLOSSEUM NIGHTCLUB" back at the day in Seyreville New Jersey every f***** Thursday night (gay night)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh Gosh!!!! What a great time.....hahahahaha... I was 19.😜

I was 22 years old. Back in 2002. I have loved Madonna from time i was a young boy. I am 42 years old now. In 2022.

The strings were made by a french music genius, Michel Colombier ! Here in France he is deeply missed.

On the movie the song appears twice, but on the end credits it's on the form of a dance remix that was available on the maxi-single(call them digital EPs today). The song was not available as individual single (there were still no digital singles at the time) so to have you had to buy the 9 tracks maxi-single, the movie OST or the album (all cost almost the same). Probably that helped the song to be Top selling dance single in US in both 2002 and 2003 (the song was released in late October 2002 and as was not available in any other format). This was the first single from "American Life" album. The "American Life" song was released in April 2003 and was also only available as maxi-single/EP or on the Album (in US). In countries like Canada, Italy or Spain there was a 2 track CD-single available for both "Die Another Day" and "American Life" singles making the songs peak much higher on the charts as those were price as just $2.99 (the EP was priced as $10.99)

I just realized I would have loveeed to see a film with Madonna as the villian. She would have pulled it off ahah I think this video is SO cool btw

Music today is garbage the 80s , 90s and 00s have the best music

Madonna - god control

Madonna's 'Die Another Day' song also touches on Sigmund's Freud's notion of the 'death drive' in all human beings. But instead of Madonna's death drive leading to ultimate self-destruction she subverts the idea of the finality of death into one of freedom, survival and continuity of consciousness. Hence she sings 'Sigmund Freud! Analyse this!' Because she is completely subverting and mocking his patriarchal ideas and limitations in support of a more optimistic feminist revision of the notion of death. We are more than just physical bodies. We are souls with consciousness and even though our bodies will come to an end the soul will transcend and continue on its journey. Trust me - she was into a lot of theoretical and esoteric theory at around this time in the late nineties and early noughties while married to Guy Ritchie!

Excelente Madonna 🇨🇴

Mirwais... sounds like Meerwez. Nice analysis ;)

It's 3 letters in Hebrew , it's from the Kabaala , the Jewish mystic that she studied and this 3 letters are 1 of many names of god in the kabala

Reacciona por favor al Drowned World Tour de Madonna

She didn't wanna give them the cure for corona!

The three Hebrew letters on the electric chair are L A V / Lamed Aleph Vav (read from right to left, the L is on the right side). It’s one of the 72 names of God in medieval Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah). These names are not the traditional ones taken directly from the bible or from standard rabbinical teaching, but were created by combining the letters of 3 verses from Exodus 14 which follow each other (verses 19-21) and in Hebrew all have 72 letters. In these verses the presence of God through his angel, cloud and fire protects the Israelites from the mighty Egyptian army by moving in between the two camps. The L A V combination is said to express the divine purifying of spaces, eliminating of ego and banishing of evil.
