"An iconic Madonna song from 1992 is going viral on TikTok - but it may have a deeper meaning than listeners realise. The "Vogue" singer's "Thief of Hearts" from her fifth studio album Erotica, released in tandem with her provocative coffee table book Sex, has been doing the rounds on TikTok, with creators dancing to its deep house beat. "Thief of Hearts", which now has more than 3,660,100 streams on Spotify, begins with moody chords and the sound of glass breaking, before Madonna exclaims "b****"."
"The anger-filled lyrics begin: "You're a thief of hearts and now you'll have to pay / How many licks does it take?/ You're a thief of hearts and now you'll have to pay /Which leg do you want me to break / You'll be sorry." Erotica was created, with the help of "Vogue" producer Shep Pettibone and "Justify My Love" producer André Betts, to push boundaries and liberate Madonna's creativity as well as sexuality."

The song has more than 3,660,100 Spotify streams and opens with moody chords, the sound of breaking glass and Madonna exclaiming "b****". Lyrical content accuses a "thief of hearts" who stole the narrator's boyfriend and invokes punitive imagery. Erotica was produced with Shep Pettibone and André Betts and released alongside the provocative book Sex to push creative and sexual boundaries. Viral clips spotlight the bridge, and some fans link the song to Annette Bening after Madonna's split from Warren Beatty.
