Music / Confessions on a Dance Floor

Every little thing that you say or do
I’m hung up, I’m hung up on you

Confessions on a Dance Floor is the tenth studio album by American pop singer Madonna, released in 2005. Considered her second comeback album after the failure of American Life, it received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and fans alike.

A New Sound Album, the album is a combination of 1970s and 1980s disco, as well as modern-day club music. It ultimately topped the charts in 40 countries and was the sixth-highest selling album of 2005 - despite being released mid-November.

Singles include "Sorry", "Get Together", "Jump" and the ABBA-sampling "Hung Up" - considered to be one of the more iconic latter-day Madonna songs.

Tracklist:

1. "Hung Up"
2. "Get Together"
3. "Sorry"

Hung Tropes

• Big Applesauce: "I Love New York".
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: "How High" is about Madonna herself questioning why she decided to become a celebrity in the first place and what exactly she gained from it, or if any of it even mattered.
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: "Sorry" takes this trope up to eleven, where she says "Sorry" in a bunch of different languages (including French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Hebrew, Hindi, Polish and Japanese).
• Iconic Outfit: The pink leotard donned in the video for "Hung Up"
• Lyrical Cold Open: "Hung Up" and "Sorry".
• Parkour: Footage of the activity is used in "Jump".
• Sampling: As mentioned, "Hung Up" uses a prominent sample from ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)". This was particularly notable as Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson have traditionally been very reluctant to allow artists to sample their work, in fact this was only the second time they've granted permission (the first being to The Fugees).
• Shout-Out: "Hung Up" is a five-minute love song to the 1970s, with the video being based on Saturday Night Fever and the song's hook being a sample from ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)".
  • Also, to Death Note of all things, in "Jump" her outfit was inspired by Mello, she and her daughter are huge fans of the manga.
• Tick Tock Tune: "Hung Up" opens with clock ticking, then ends with an alarm that flows into "Get Together".
