Pokojná, minimalistická skladba, ktorá sa podobá na I Want to Break Free a štýlom pripomína Depeche Mode. Madness vznikla vďaka tomu, že sa Matt pohádal s priateľkou: "Pohádate ste sa s frajerkou, ona na celý deň odíde k svojej mame a vy ostanete sám a rozmýšľate: "Čo také som povedal?" Som si istý, že také čosi pozná v prvých fázach vzťahu mnoho chlapov. Nakoniec si povieme: "Ale hej, mala pravdu, však?"
Madness bola nominovaná na Grammy 2013 v kategórii Najlepšia rocková pieseň.
I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness
Is starting to evolve, mmmm
And I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness
Is swallowing me whole, yeah
I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
What you mean
Now, I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness
Keeping us afloat, mmmm
When I look back, at all the crazy fights we had
It's like some kind of madness
Was taking control, yeah
Now, I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
What you need
Now, I have finally seen the end
And I'm not expecting you to care, no
That I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
I need your love
I need your love
Come to me
Just in a dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I know
I can't be wrong
And baby you're too headstrong
Our love is madness
