Madonna Unveils a Cinematic Dance Experience in “Confessions II – The Film“
The legendary pop queen just redefined the intersection of music and cinema. Premiering at the Tribeca Festival on June 5, 2026, and arriving for a global audience on YouTube on June 8, Confessions II – The Film arrives as a breathtaking visual companion to Madonna’s highly anticipated studio album, Confessions II.
Directed by the visionary duo TORSO and produced by Division, the short film weaves a continuous, dancefloor-centered narrative around the opening six tracks of the upcoming record, including the infectious pulse of “I Feel So Free” and “Bring Your Love.”
The project functions as a high-octane introduction to the sonic world Madonna has crafted for this summer.
Featuring a jaw-dropping roster of high-profile cameos—ranging from Sabrina Carpenter and Feid to Kate Moss and Benedict Cumberbatch—the visual piece creates an immersive, glitter-soaked environment that demands immediate attention.
The film captures the essence of a modern dance revolution, trading standard music video tropes for a cohesive, cinematic flow that highlights the raw energy of her latest compositions.
By merging club culture with high-concept art, she ensures that every frame pulses with the same frantic urgency as her greatest hits.
This release marks a vital turning point for the album campaign, setting a massive stage for the full project’s debut on July 3, 2026.
Whether the audience is captivated by the star-studded appearances or the relentless, rhythmic heartbeat of the soundtrack, Madonna proves once again that she holds the power to reshape the entire pop landscape.
Quotable Lyrics:
Thanks for coming
Sometimes I like to just hide in the shadows
Create a new persona
A different identity
I can be whoever I wanna be
Create a new persona
And just not care
That’s why I like to go dancing
Safety in numbers
Safety in numbers
But out here
On the dance floor
I feel so free
[Part II: Good for the Soul]
[Intro]
Everything begins with consciousness
[Verse]
Traveling through space and time
Interestellar helix unwind
Hey, don’t forsake or the love will die
Don’t forget your love, alright
Hey, on the spiraling light we fly
We will be one, we will be divine
All the spirits, they all intertwine
Don’t forget that
That it’s good for the soul
To let down your hair and breathe in the air
Good for the soul
It’s up to the sky, a thousand birds fly
Good for the soul
The ones that you love will keep you alive
Good for the soul
Catch us dancing in the rain, no need to explain
I need to explain
[Part III: One Step Away]
[Intro]
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
[Chorus]
One step away from your freedom
One breath away from the dance of blood
One step away from your heartbeat
One step away, yeah, you’re one step away
[Verse]
Even in the shadows where there’s nowhere left to hide
Nighttime comes before the dawn
It’s salvation, all God’s children can be saved
We’re all waiting for our freedom
One step away
[Intro: Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter]
Sabrina, Madonna
I got something I wanna talk about
[Verse: Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter]
Don’t comment on my ideas
I don’t want your judgment or your expectations
Don’t wind me up like a toy
Your vision of me is a killer of joy
[Pre-Chorus: Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter]
I know where the bodies are buried
Don’t try to shut me up
Don’t try to distract me with numbers
I did it all for love
[Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter, Madonna & Both]
Bring your love ’cause you cannot shake me
Bring your love (Bring it) ’cause you’ll never break me
Bring your love (Bring it) ’cause you cannot take me down
[Bridge: Madonna, Sabrina Carpenter & Both]
Don’t wanna compromise (Ask yourself this)
I made the sacrifice (What are you doing it for?)
I always pay the price (Is it for you? Is it for them?)
And now I don’t wanna, don’t wanna
I have a confession, I
I got something I wanna talk about
Talk about, talk about
I got something I wanna talk about
Talk about, talk about
I got something I wanna talk about
Talk about, talk about
I got something I wanna talk about
Talk about, talk about
[Part V: Danceteria]
[Verse 1]
Off the train, four, five, six
Walk through the club, don’t wait for shit
Meet this boy named Martin Burgoyne
He’s my best friend, he’s my boytoy
We see the line, it’s way too long
Cut to the front, there’s Haoui Montaug
Waves us in, No Entiendes
I’m not sure you understand this
[Refrain]
Face to face, bodies all around
Temperature is rising and the sweat’s dripping down
Everybody’s watching now, oh, yeah
I don’t care
[Verse 2]
Get on the elevator
I ran into Debi Mazar
Take us to the third floor
Walk us to the dance floor
Then I see Mark Kamins is the DJ
He’s the DJ, hide the cocaine
He played my tape, “Everybody” (Everybody)
This is how we start the party
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not what I say, it’s not what I do
It’s how my body language talks to you
I just want to lose myself in the groove
Get over here
[Chorus]
Everybody get up and dance (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)
Everyone here is a work of art
Everybody get up and dance (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)
(Everybody, everybody)
Everyone here is a work of art
Everybody get up and dance
[Post-Chorus]
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Let’s have some fun, let’s have another one
Uh
[Part VI: Read My Lips]
[Intro: Madonna & Feid]
You’re giving leading actor
You wanna steal the show (Bebé)
Shut your mouth (Shut your mouth, shut your mouth)
Uno calla’o y usted dele, dele y dele
Read my lips
[Verse: Feid & Madonna]
Wow, bebé, usted cuenta lo que le conviene
Yo solo creo la mitad (Read my lips), ¿por qué enreda al nene? (Shut your mouth)
Mejor venga, hablemo’, pero no se ponga a alegar (Read my lips)
Mami, deje ese enrosque que usted mantiene (Shut your mouth)
[Pre-Chorus: Madonna & Feid]
I don’t believe a word that you say
Eso es lo que siempre me dices, bebé
I wonder if you like it this way
No me gusta, pero, ¿qué hago pues? (Shut your mouth)
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, i don’t
[Chorus: Madonna & Feid]
Read my lips (Yeah)
Dímelo a la cara what you mean (Shut your mouth)
Will you cut me with your lies? (My lies, my lies)
‘Cause you’ll hurt me with your kiss and I realize
You’re just broken
Shut your mouth
[Part VII: I Feel So Free (Reprise)]
[Intro]
I wish a motherf**ker would
Don’t be a vibe kill
[Refrain]
(Uh-uh-uh-uh)
Come on, meet me on the dancefloor
Come here, baby, I can give you much more tonight
Oh, baby, let’s do it right (Ah)
[Verse]
That’s why I like to go dancing
Safety in numbers
Safety in numbers
Safety in numbers
[Refrain]
Come on, meet me on the dancefloor
Come here, baby, I can give you much more tonight
Oh, baby, let’s do it right (Ah)
[Interlude]
So, how’s your evening so far?
Cut, b*tch
[Pre-Chorus]
Been so lonely, I can’t take anymore
Give me champagne so I can get on the floor tonight
Oh, baby, let’s do it right
[Outro]
(Free)
