Thematically, “Vulgar” explores the concept of embracing a provocative demeanor, as both Madonna and Sam Smith know something about. Sadly though, the song does not deliver a profound message nor possess the infectious catchiness that typically compels listeners to sing along. Of the two verses, Madonna’s stands out as more intriguing and playful, featuring lines such as “Boy, get down on your knees” and “So watch what you say or I’ll split your banana.” Additionally, Madonna cleverly references her musical history with the nostalgic line, “Let’s get into the groove.”The chorus consists of the Grammy-winning duo repeatedly chanting the word “Vulgar,” seemingly eschewing the conventional structure found in mainstream pop songs.

Thus, she was a perfect person to introduce Smith and Petras before they performed the song at the Grammys: “Are you ready for some controversy?” she began, before continuing, “If they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative or dangerous, you are definitely onto something.”
