Madonna collaborated with Dallas Austin, Babyface, Dave \"Jam\" Hall, and Nellee Hooper, deciding to move into more mainstream sound. The singer wanted to soften her image following the critical and commercial backlash she faced after releasing sexually explicit projects in the previous two years, notably the Erotica album and the Sex book in 1992.
