  • %22Hollywood%22 is a song by American singer-songwriter Madonna. The song was written and produced by Madonna and Mirwais Ahmadzaï for her ninth studio album, American Life (2003). On July 14, 2003, it was released as the second single from the album by Maverick Records. It later appeared on the greatest hits album, Celebration (2009). %22Hollywood%22 is a dance-pop and folk rock song that lyrically discusses American culture and greed, focusing on Hollywood, California, as a place of pop stars and illusory dreams. Madonna's vocals in the song was noted as that of a little-girl's; during the song she also raps, with the repeated phrase %22Push the button%22. Ahmadzaï did the main programming for the track and kept the track as simple as possible, without using too many instruments.Several remixes of %22Hollywood%22, done by DJs such as Jacques Lu Cont, The Micronauts, Paul Oakenfold, Deepsky and Victor Calderone, were included on physical releases of the single around the world. Music critics applauded the song's catchiness but criticized its lyrics. The song topped Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs and Hot Dance Singles Sales component charts. The debut of the %22Hollywood%22 remixes on the Dance Singles Sales chart gave Madonna her longest stretch of chart-topping titles on this chart, %22Hollywood%22 being her sixth in a row. It also reached the top ten in Canada, Finland, Italy and reached number two in the United Kingdom.An accompanying music video, directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, portrays Madonna highlighting the highs and lows of Hollywood. After the video was released, French photographer Guy Bourdin's son %22Hollywood%22 filed a federal lawsuit that accused Madonna of ripping off the work of his father, showing sequences of the video to be similar to his father's photographs taken in 1980s. %22Hollywood%22 was first performed in an acoustic version along with %22American Life%22 and %22Mother and Father%22 on a promotional tour for the album. In August 2003, Madonna opened the MTV Video Music Awards performing a medley of %22Like a Virgin%22 and %22Hollywood%22 with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott. During the performance, Madonna kissed Spears and Aguilera on the lips, generating strong reactions from the media. %22Hollywood%22 was later used as a dancers' interlude on the 2004 Re-Invention World Tour.
