After nearly a year of teasing, Madonna has officially announced the sequel to her seminal 2005 dance record, Confessions on a Dance Floor 2. The pop star wiped her Instagram — save for the iconic "Hung Up" lyric, "Time goes by so slowly," that's now her bio — and updated her website with graphics teasing "COADF2." Sadly, there's still no release date, though Madge has hinted that it would be out 2026.
The original Confessions on a Dance Floor marked a second peak in Madonna's career, helmed by the hit singles "Hung Up," "Sorry," "Get Together," and "Jump." The record was a stylistic pivot into club music as it was sequenced like a DJ sets with no gaps between tracks, and songs sampled ABBA, Donna Summer, Pet Shop Boys, the Bee Gees, Depeche Mode, and her own1980s catalog.
