Madonna is returning to the discothèque.
Two decades after the release of her beloved album Confessions on a Dance Floor, the Queen of Pop has been hard at work on a sequel.
“I’m putting my heart and soul into my new music,” she wrote to her Instagram followers in February, “and I can’t wait to share it with you!!”
The timing for the follow-up couldn’t be more perfect, as the original Confessions will turn 20 on November 15.
Since releasing her debut album in 1983, Madonna has rarely been out of the public eye — and she’s never stopped delivering floor-filling pop hits. Born in Bay City, Michigan, in 1958, Madonna — whose full name is Madonna Louise Ciccone — started dancing as a kid after convincing her dad to let her study […]
To mark the milestone anniversary, Madonna dropped a special edition of the 2005 album on streaming services on November 7. In addition to its main 12 songs, Confessions on a Dance Floor (Twenty Years Edition) includes three bonus tracks, “Fighting Spirit,” “Super Pop” and “History,” plus remixes of the record’s four singles, “Hung Up,” “Sorry,” “Get Together” and “Jump.”

Confessions on a Dance Floor is widely considered to be one of Madonna’s best albums. It received critical acclaim upon its release and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. It also won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album in 2007.
To promote the project, Madonna embarked on her Confessions Tour in 2006, which went on to become the highest-grossing outing for a female artist at the time with nearly $195 million at the box office. (Taylor Swift now holds the record with her $2 billion Eras Tour.)
Below, Us Weekly rounds up everything we know so far about the highly anticipated follow-up to Confessions on a Dance Floor.
A material girl! Madonna isn’t just a musical icon — she also constantly manages to blow Us away with her over-the-top style, youthful energy and boundary-breaking fashion looks. Since she first burst onto the scene with her eponymous solo album in 1982, the multi-hyphenate singer, actress, director, humanitarian and beauty mogul has become a […]
What Will the Album Be Called?
Madonna has yet to unveil the final title for the sequel, but she referred to it as “Confessions Part 2” in her February Instagram post. She then dubbed it “Confessions Part Deux” in July.
When Will It Be Released?
When Madonna first teased the album in December 2024, she told fans they could expect “new music in 2025!” However, the following September, her label, Warner Records, issued a press release stating that “the Queen of the Dance Floor is set to return with a new album in 2026.” The official release date has not been announced.

Who Is Producing It?
Madonna revealed in her December 2024 post that she was back in the recording studio with Stuart Price, who was a producer on the original Confessions album.
“These past few months has [sic] been medicine for my SOUL,” she wrote at the time. “Songwriting and making music is the one area where I don’t need to ask anyone for their permission.. i’m so excited to share it with you.”
What Will It Sound Like?
Madonna has not shared any clips of her upcoming songs, but Warner Records confirmed in its September press release that she is making another “dance album.”
“Madonna isn’t just an artist — she’s the blueprint, the rule-breaker, the ultimate cultural juggernaut,” the label’s co-chairmen, Aaron Bay-Schuck and Tom Corson, said in a statement. “For decades, she has not only defined the sound of global pop music but also reshaped culture itself with her vision, innovation and fearless artistry.”
Bay-Schuck and Corson went on to promise “an exciting new era of creativity and impact.”
