"Give It 2 Me" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna from her eleventh studio album, Hard Candy (2008). It was written by Madonna and Pharrell Williams, and produced by Madonna and recording duo The Neptunes, made up of Williams and Chad Hugo. Noted a manifesto dance-pop song with trance, hip-hop, EDM, Eurodance, and industrial elements, its lyrics are ambiguous. They appear to be about sex and dancing, but are actually about success, survival, and focusing on the present. "Give It 2 Me" and its remixes were made available for digital download on June 24. In Australia and most European countries, it was released on July 11.
Upon release "Give It 2 Me" received positive reviews from contemporary critics. They compared it to Madonna's past work and deemed it one of the best tracks from the album. A moderate commercial success, in the United States, the song debuted and peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 57. Nonetheless, it became Madonna's 39th number-one on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart. It was successful in Europe, topping the charts in Spain, The Netherlands and Hungary, while charting within the top ten in other markets, including the United Kingdom.
A music video was directed by Tom Munro and Nathan Rissman. Shot in black and white, it shows Madonna wearing multiple clothing clothing provided by Chanel and Roberto Cavalli. Williams also makes an appearance. Some critics pointed out that the video echoed past looks of the singer. Madonna sang "Give It 2 Me" on the promotional concerts offered for Hard Candy, on her set at the BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, and on 2008―2009's Sticky & Sweet Tour.
