What’s In A Name

Living For Love co-writer Ariel Rechtshaid, who is all over basically every record you may have dug these past few years and probably a good portion of those you’re going to love by 2015′s end – took some time out to tell MTV News what he’s learned from some of his most high-profile collaborators.

Here’s what he had to say about working with the Queen of Pop herself on her Rebel Heart album.

I kept calling her ‘Madonna’ — just, ‘Hey Madonna’ and whatever. Every time she would kind of look at me funny. After a while she was like, ‘Why do you keep calling me that?’ I’m like, ‘Calling you what?’ And she says, ‘Calling me Madonna, nobody calls me that.’ I was like, ‘What do you mean? What do people call you?’ She’s like, ‘Umm, M. People call me M.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, alright! Well, anyway, let’s do some vocals, Madonna.’
