Borderline is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her 1983 self-titled debut album. Written and produced by Reggie Lucas, the track was developed during the album's recording sessions at Sigma Sound Studios in New York City. It was one of two new songs Lucas brought to the project. Musically, "Borderline" is a pop and post-disco song influenced by 1970s soul. Its lyrics express frustration with a partner's inconsistent behavior and emotional control. "Lucky Star" is a song by American singer Madonna from her 1983 self-titled debut album. Written by Madonna and produced by Reggie Lucas, the track was originally intended for DJ Mark Kamins, a friend of the singer and resident at the New York nightclub Danceteria. After the success of her first single, "Everybody" (1982), Sire Records approved the recording of a full album. Tensions between Madonna and Lucas over the production style led to his departure from the project; she then enlisted her boyfriend at the time, John "Jellybean" Benitez, to remix and complete several tracks, including "Lucky Star". Original 1984 1st US pressing, 12" maxi single, 45 rpm, Goldmine Grading: Near Mint (NM)
