OMG now that makes sense! I saw this yesterday, which I found absolutely hilarious even without knowing the play on words as unfortunately I do not speak Portoguese, but in light of the above explanation is even funnier now, pissing myself laughing!!

Here a part of Boy Cultures review that perfectly sums up why the criticism of this song's lyrics is unjustified: https://www.boyculture.com/boy_culture/2019/06/madonna-madame-x-review.html Reviewers seem to dislike the awkwardly titled — it reads like a poor translation back into English — “Killers Who Are Partying” because it is an example of a “white savior” attitude: “I'll be Africa/If Africa is shut down” delivered in a strange (and distracting) African-inflected accent. But perhaps SJWs should hold their fire on white allies when they have, for 30 years or more, used their platforms not to steal from other cultures and factions, but to share their platforms with them. If the end goal is to achieve sincere empathy and if allies are a plus, Madonna, a self-made woman, is an example of both things. She is also approaching the concept of desiring to understand the position of others as the white mother of four black, African children; a biracial daughter; and a white son. It's not tone-deaf to sing, “I will be gay/If the gay(s) are burned,” not when the person singing is also admitting firmly, “I know what I am/And I know what I'm not.” It's musical empathy, not musical exploitation, her somber version of Machine's “There but for the Grace of God Go I,” and the song is blissfully ready to be sung on her intimate tour. Great comparison!

(hear: 3:34) i can't remember the last time we had a hum. I guess the last time was on "Isaac" I love when she hums, that's part of her own artistry.
Voguerista Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 This song is infectious. I love the humming too.
Illuminati Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I love it so much. Don't mind the lyrics in the verses, they're find to me. The chorus and the production are insanely good. Certainly one of my fav songs on Madame X.
Mr Ciccone Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 This is the song that has stuck in my head the most.... Perfection x x x
Mozo1 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Anyone calling Killers "cultural appropriation" or such nonsense are straight-up fucking idiots and should be ignored for their boringness.
Kurt420 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I find myself going directly to this song lately. The musical arrangement is just so smooth and soothing but totally unique! This is some classic M&M stuff here!
Beastialg Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 This songs was the one I liked the least on the album, but has grown on me A LOT! I especially love now this part of the song: O mundo é selvagem O caminho é solitário (é, é, é, é)
ashtangi74 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 the instrumental break when the instruments go "out of tune" is pure genius and i love that very much.

MichaelDieker Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 OK I think I need to learn to play the accordion! Madame X inspired me to pick up a guitar in 2001, now she's gonna get me playing the squeezebox! I'm obsessing with how it meanders through the song and the cool electronic filters on it. Her vocals are so beautiful in this song too gahd. Gorgeous. The heart of Madame X is Killers.
Shaun Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Gets. Better. With. Each. Listen. Haunting, melodic, eerie, artistic, inspirational, lyrically compelling. A Madonna homerun.

Flip The Switch Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 “God knooows what I am...” Her vocals here. My favorite moment of the song.
Andgon144 Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 KWAP is like the dark, twisted, evil step sister of 'I deserve it' from Music in terms of production. I don't know if anyone hears it? Also, I played Madame X in its entirety for my bestie and she was BLOWN away by this Killers.

Shane Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 I think this powerful and haunting song is just about to oust Crazy and enter my Madame X top 5.
imakicola Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Madonna has a new photo of her with lots of curls tagged “Killers.” So either she is rehearsing (that is also tagged), or it’s a new look for something to do with Killers. I’m just curious.
PetrusPan Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 yesterday I was playing this song at home... and mom said "How beautiful this song is!.!" sometimes she surprises me with her M faves.
Guest eroticerotic Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 its' a wrap. covered it for my sophomore lp

Nikki Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Wish there wasnt autotune.. it would be in my top 20 fav M songs.. the production is brilliant
Mr.X Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I get emotional every time I listen to this song. The production is top-notch!
