Writing and Inspiration
The song was written and produced by Stephen Bray with a co-writing credit by Madonna. According to Madonna, "True Blue" takes its title from a favourite expression of her then husband Sean Penn and to his very pure vision of love and was a direct tribute to him as well as the album, which was as a whole inspired by her "unabashed valentine" for Penn. In an interview, Bray said, "She (Madonna) was very much in love. It was obvious if she's in love she'll write love songs. If she's not in love she definitely won't be writing love songs."
