Earlier this week, the Queen of Pop announced that her new album ‘Confessions II’ will be released on July 3, the sequel to her seminal 2005 record ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’ and the album she has been teasing since early last year.
Advertisement Then, yesterday, she gave the first track, ‘I Feel So Free’, a low-key debut on LGBTQ+ radio station Pride Radio, with the track set to play on the station at the top of every hour for the rest of this weekend.
Shortly afterwards, she made a surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s headline Coachella set to give the track its live debut.
At the time, no official release details had been confirmed, with the track only being serviced to a select few DJs and clubs. However, today (April 18), Madonna has officially surprise-released the song.
Produced by Madonna and Stuart Price (the producer of the original album), the song is a hedonistic deep house-flavoured floor-filler, in keeping with the dance-centric sound of the original ‘Confessions Of A Dance Floor’ album.
“It’s really hard for me to trust people / Can you blame me? / I never know why people like me / That’s why I like to go dancing / Safety in numbers,” Madonna sings, over an interpolation of Lil Louis’ 1989 Chicago house classic ‘French Kiss’.

The first glimpse of new music came when she rebranded her official website on Tuesday (April 14) with a clip of atmospheric ambient music. She then dropped the new album news on Instagram the following day, also unveiling the pink and lilac cover art and sharing the title and release date in the caption.
On her website, the record is available to pre-order now and comes in two variations: a standard issue of the album, which features 12 songs and a deluxe version that contains four bonus tracks.

She has also said the new record is best summed up in the opening lines of the track ‘One Step Away’: “People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place, it’s a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language”.
Madonna already revealed she had been working with Price back in December 2024.
“When Stuart Price and I first started working on this record, this was our manifesto: We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies,” Madonna shared. “These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices.”
