"Causing a Commotion" is a song by American singer Madonna for her 1987 movie Who's That Girl and on the subsequent, various artists soundtrack Who's That Girl.

Song information

"Causing a Commotion" was released in the United Kingdom just before Madonna's 1987 Who's That Girl Tour and reached number four in the UK charts and number two in the United States. The song was written and produced by Madonna and long-term co-writer Stephen Bray. The versions that appear on the singles were remixed by Shep Pettibone.

In the United States, "Causing A Commotion" became one of the top pop hits of the summer of 1987, debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, at a lofty #41, the week of September 12, 1987, as "Who's That Girl" was descending from the Top 10 of the chart. The single lept up the chart, finally peaking at #2 the week of October 24, 1987, the same week Michael Jackson's "Bad" advanced to the pole position. While "Causing A Commotion" couldn't break the chart success of "Bad", it was strong enough to remain in the #2 position of the Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks.

The song was never released in France where "The Look Of Love" was released as the second and last commercial single from the "Who's That Girl" soundtrack.

The song was often compared to "Into the Groove", Madonna's 1985 dance hit. Though "Causing a Commotion" charted at #2 in the US, it has never been included on any of Madonna's compilation albums.
