Back in December 2014, Guy Oziri (Madonna’s manager) announced that the release of the video was set for February 2015. The video was filmed in New York , and the corsets and video costumes were created by the fashion label V-Couture. The premiere took place on February 5 in the mobile application Snapchat, the video itself was made in Spanish style, where Madonna appears as a matador . At the end of the clip is a quote from Nietzsche :
For man is the most cruel of all animals. During the tragedies, the bullfights and the crucifixes, he still felt the best on earth; and when he found himself hell, hell became his heaven on earth [1] .
