“Justify My Love” by Madonna

Written by Lenny Kravitz. Well, sort of. He crafted the song based off a poem written by Prince protegée Ingrid Chavez. The whole episode was a serious turning point in Kravitz’s life. When he got full writing credits, Chavez sued him and Madonna and they settled out of court. Then, Kravitz was reportedly accused of messing around with Madonna, which allegedly ended his marriage to former “The Cosby Show” star Lisa Bonet. In retrospect, this is probably not one of Kravitz’s favorite songs anymore.
