Like a Virgin
As if untouched
"Like a Virgin" is Madonna's breakthrough 1984 single, becoming synonymous with her provocative persona.
The title phrase describes feeling renewed or inexperienced again, as if for the first time: This new job has me feeling like a virgin—everything seems fresh.
The song sparked controversy and became a cultural touchstone, referenced whenever someone discusses pop music's relationship to sexuality or '80s culture.
