Madonna reveals new music is '“Confessions” Part 2,' teases potential sequel to “Confessions on a Dancefloor”

Madonna is hung up on releasing new music, as the pop icon just made a surprising reveal that her upcoming album could be a sequel to her global 2005 smash Confessions on a Dancefloor.

The legendary recording artist announced Thursday that she has a special holiday treat for fans upon premiering a series of new images of herself in a recording studio with her Confessions collaborator, music producer Stuart Price.

"My Valentine’s Day gift to all my fans is to let you know I’m putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can’t wait to share it with you!!" Madonna wrote in the post's caption, before cryptically teasing that the new material is "Confessions Part 2."

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Madonna for more information.

In December, Madonna confirmed that new music would release in 2025, and also unveiled that she was back in the studio with Price.

"These past few months has been medicine for my SOUL," Madonna 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. Who wants to hear new music in 2025?"

In addition to his work on Confessions, which turns 20 in November 2025, Price also recently served as the musical director on Madonna's Celebration tour, a retrospective international concert series that kicked off in 2023 before concluding in May 2024 with a free set on Brazil's Copacabana Beach that drew a record 1.6 million fans to watch her perform.

Outside of working on her new solo material, Madonna also joined The Weeknd and Playboi Carti for the 2023 The Idol soundtrack tune "Popular," which recently crossed 1 billion streams on Spotify and reached No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 — Madonna's highest-charting single since "Give Me All Your Luvin'" hit No. 10 in 2012.

Madonna's last full-length album, Madame X, reached No. 1 in the United States in 2019. It was preceded by 2015's Rebel Heart, 2012's MDNA, and 2008's Hard Candy — all of which followed the success of Confessions.

The 66-year-old also recently developed a self-directed biopic about her life, which she co-wrote an initial draft of with Juno's Diablo Cody, and later finished with Erin Cressida Wilson. She later said in November 2024 that she might adapt the project into a TV series instead.
