Madonna previously opened up about the creative process she has experienced writing the script, admitting that it hasn’t been as easy as she thought it would be.

“Writing my script is the most draining, challenging experience I’ve ever had,” she shared, adding that “It’s kind of like psychotherapy in a way.
