Jennifer Grey says her breakup with ex-fiancé Matthew Broderick inspired old friend Madonna's hit song Express Yourself
Having been thrust into the young Hollywood scene after her roles in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Dirty Dancing, Grey got engaged to Broderick, only to split after about four years.
With their growing friendship, the pop superstar threw Grey a party for her 29th birthday in March 1989. It was during that party that Madonna told her about the influence she and Broderick had on Express Yourself, which was the second single on her fourth studio album, Like A Virgin . Split: Grey began dating Broderick while the two were shooting Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which began in September 1985 and lasted through until near the end of November of that year
'Don't go for second best, baby - Put your love to the test - You know, you know, you've got to - Make him express how he feels - And maybe then you'll know your love is real,' Madonna sings in the catchy chorus of the up-beat dance-pop song.'You deserve the best in life - So if the time isn't right, then move on - Second best is never enough - You'll do much better, baby, on your own ,' the iconic singer-songwriter belts out.
