'Make My Video' contest decided to opt for a promotional device in the United States that would involve viewers to make their own videos for 'True Blue'. In the fall of 1986, MTV asked its viewers to submit their own videos. The contest was known as 'Madonna's 'Make My Video' Contest'. The winner was awarded a trip to MTV's studio where Madonna presented a $25,000 check live on MTV. Thousands of viewers submitted their recorded tapes which were mainly made using home-made video equipment and featured themselves or relatives as the actors. MTV publicist Peter Danielson said that many of the submissions featured teenagers imitating Madonna.

The male protagonist is portrayed as a 'perfect boy' (played by William Fitzgibbon) having the sensibilities like attentiveness, cuteness, playfulness like a friend (after the lyrics 'You're my best friend') and not sexual overtones. The video in-turn contrasts him with a self-centered boy who puts on sunglasses, throws his leather jacket over his shoulder and walks away from the girl.
