Madonna and Charli XCX have joined forces for the first time on “Danceteria Afterhours,” a reworked rendition of the former’s “Danceteria” from her latest album, Confessions II.
In “Danceteria Afterhours,” Charli XCX talks about her beginnings as an aspiring artist, especially when she was releasing music since she was 14 years old and she would eventually meet PC Music founders A.G. Cook and SOPHIE in 2015.
“First time ever at a party in London/ I’m kinda nervous, kinda scared/ On a makeshift stage playing songs from my iPod/ Met a band called Le Couteau Jaune/ Yeah, I’ve been doing this shit since 2007.”
“Danceteria” is named after the legendary club in Manhattan in 1982, where Madonna handed out her demo of “Everybody.” It was also the venue where she performed live for the first time.
The collaboration single was released right before Madonna’s return to the MTV Video Music Awards happening on September 27. Her appearance will be her first since 2003.
