"Into the Groove" is a song by American singer Madonna, featured in the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan. Written and produced with Stephen Bray, it was inspired by the dance floor and Madonna's attraction to a Puerto Rican man. Built around synthesizers, drum machines, and double-tracked vocals, the song features sexual innuendos and functions as an invitation to dance. Originally written for producer Mark Kamins, Madonna later decided to use the track in a scene from the film that required a dance number—though it was not included on the official soundtrack. Instead, it appeared on the international 1985 reissue of her second studio album Like a Virgin (1984), and later on her compilations You Can Dance (1987), The Immaculate Collection (1990), Celebration (2009), and Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones (2022).
