It was released on November 6, 1990, by Sire Records as the lead single from The Immaculate Collection; the song was written with additional lyrics by Madonna. Chavez was not credited on the song. Chavez settled the terms of which included a songwriting credit. Madonna's vocals are spoken and whispered, but never sung, a style that she employed on her following studio album Erotica. Musically, "Justify My Love" is a trip hop song, with mid-tempo settings and instrumentation; the lyrics of the song are about sex and romance. "Justify My Love" received mixed reviews from older critics, but was critically appreciated by many contemporary critics, noting it as one of Madonna's best songs to date. The song became Madonna's ninth number one single on the Billboard Hot 100, while reaching the Top 10 in several countries including Australia, Finland, New Zealand, Italy and the United Kingdom.
The accompanying music video portrayed Madonna as a woman walking in a hotel hallway, looking distressed and tired from work, until being seduced into having sex with a mysterious man and woman. It caused controversy worldwide, due to its explicit sexual images, was subsequently banned from MTV and other TV networks; the video, which contained imagery of sadomasochism and bisexuality, made its US television debut December 3, 1990 on ABC during its late-night news program Nightline. The song was part of the setlist of three of her concert tours, the most recent being The MDNA Tour in 2012. "Justify My Love" was written and recorded by Ingrid Chavez, Prince's protégé and friend, Lenny Kravitz: he and producer André Betts composed the music while Chavez penned the lyrics based on a poem she had written for Kravitz, read them aloud. Kravitz added the title chorus to the demo while Madonna corrected one line. Chavez was not credited for the song and sued Kravitz in 1992: she received an out-of-court settlement, gained a co-writing credit for her work.
When the lawsuit was settled, Chavez's attorney Steven E. Kurtz clarified that Madonna's additional writing credit was not questioned in the lawsuit; the song was released on November 6, 1990, three days before the release of The Immaculate Collection. Producer Kravitz used the drums found on Public Enemy's instrumental, "Security of the First World", without consent, in turn based on the end drum break of James Brown's "Funky Drummer", used it as the basis of the song; the song was unusual in that Madonna's vocals are spoken and whispered, but never sung. This style served as a prelude to her next album Erotica, in which she spoke the lyrics on some of the songs rather than singing them. Kravitz and Madonna provided background vocals. Chavez' had provided the "spoken intro" to Prince's 1988 song "Eye No", Chavez' vocal style on her 1991 debut album has been described as "breathy spoken passages". Composed as a midtempo song, "Justify My Love" is a trip hop-inspired song. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, the song is set in common time, with a tempo of 100 beats per minute.
It is composed in the key of B minor with Madonna's voice ranging from the tonal nodes of A4 to D5. According to Jim Farber from Entertainment Weekly, he described the song's musical beat and Madonna's vocals as "vague, tuneless phrases chanted in Madonna's most breathless voice over a minimal house groove — serves to justify the visuals." In a review for The Immaculate Collection, David Browne said. The song features "heavy breathing with a backbeat." Robert Christgau had compared the song composition to the songs on Madonna's Erotica album. Bill Lamb from About.com said the song is "quite powerful and enthralling in its dreamy, beat heavy celebration of carnal coupling." Madonna and Lenny Kravitz remixed the song and named it "The Beast Within". It was CD maxi-single release in North America; the remix uses only the chorus and certain lines of the original song, with the verses being replaced by passages from the Book of Revelation. Subsequent live concert performances have billed the song as "The Beast Within", a song in its own right, it is now no longer referred to as a remix.
The song first garnered media attention early in 1991 when the Simon Wiesenthal Center accused the song of containing anti-semitic lyrics. They are a Synagogue of Satan". "Justify My Love" received acclaim from many music critics. In a separate review from AllMusic, they gave the song four-and-a-half stars out of five, stating " stands as one of the best of Madonna's long history of well-packaged maxi-singles, further helped set a precedent for the maxi-single market." In a review from Entertainment Weekly by David Browne, he gave it a positive remark saying that people who have a "hoo-haa" surrounding the banning of the single "underestimate her". Rolling Stone said that the song and contemporaneous Rescue Me were "worthy sensual newies". While reviewing Celebration, Bill Lamb from About.com said "Songs such as "Justify My Love" that sounded a little over-indulgent when first released have worn well over time." Alexandra Capotorto from PopCrush.com said "'Justify My Love' is constructed lovemaking music.
