Did Madonna rip off this Spice Girls’ deep track in 2008?
Madonna is currently on the road with her Celebration Tour. The Queen of Pop is performing some of her biggest hits from the last four decades, and fans have been eating it up.15 years ago, in October 2008, she released “Miles Away” as the third single from her eleventh studio album Hard Candy.
It was co-written by the singer, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Nate Hills (a.k.a. Danja).The song was about navigating a long-distance relationship and the strain it can put on a couple.
Speaking about it later, Madonna explained that she came up with the melody spontaneously and said the lyrics were unintentionally autobiographical. (At the time, her marriage to Guy Ritchie was unraveling.)Probably in many respects most of the songs [on Hard Candy] are [autobiographical].
But in more of an unconscious way. I don’t really think about telling personal stories when I’m writing music. It just comes.
