Since 2024, Madonna has been teasing that her next album will be a sequel to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor. This morning, she cleared her Instagram and changed her bio to read “Time goes by so slowly…”, a lyric from Confessions’ lead single, “Hung Up.” Though an official release date or title have yet to materialize, her official website now displays the words “Confessions II” and what appears to be the new album’s cover art. Check that out below.

Madonna first alluded to the existence of a Confessions follow-up in December 2024, when she posted a video of herself in the studio with the original LP’s producer, Stuart Price. Then, last year, she confirmed that she had returned to her original label, Warner Records, where she put out all of her studio albums from 1983’s self-titled debut to 2008’s Hard Candy.

In the seven years following the release of 2019’s Madame X, Madonna has shared two remix compilations—Finally Enough Love and the Ray of Light-era collection Veronica Electronica—and collaborated with Beyoncé, Fireboy DML, and Sam Smith. She also reworked “Hung Up” alongside Dominican dembow star Tokischa. A Madonna biopic starring Julia Garner was scrapped in 2023, but will apparently be a plot point in season two of the Apple TV+ series The Studio.
