Bring Your Love

According to Price, the song came from Madonna's and his desire to "spread the message", similarly to samping ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" in "Hung Up" on Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005).^[1] They decided to record a collaboration, which is "in itself a talking point".^[1] Their choice was Carpenter, who has been open about the influence Madonna had on her.^[1] Madonna approached her over an Instagram direct message to record a collaboration.^[2]

Madonna explained the song's lyrics were inspired by her reluctance to think about the charts and streaming numbers, adding: "Algorithms and artificial intelligence are the opposite of taking risks and to me that is the opposite of making art."^[3] Price described the message of the song: "That it can either be about Madonna and Sabrina's shared experience in the music business, or it can be very specifically about Madonna's sense of what it’s like to be doubted and to be a fighter."^[1]

On April 15, 2026, Madonna announced the release of her album Confessions II (2026).^[4] On April 27, Madonna and Carpenter revealed in a joint Instagram post that the song would be released on April 30 at 3 p.m. PT. In the post, they included a promotional graphic of the single, which consists of a black-and-white photo of Madonna and Carpenter standing side-by-side, encased in a red frame.^[5] Alongside the announcement, Madonna shared a snippet of the song.^[6] Billboard confirmed that it will serve as the album's lead single, after "I Feel So Free" was released as a promotional single.^[7] After the release, the song was used in the album's commercial starring Madonna and Anna Wintour, filmed during the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan and shown in selected theaters ahead of The Devil Wears Prada 2.^[8] Madonna would later use the song as part of her global ambassador campaign for Italian-based makeup brand Kiko Milano, as part of their global expansion camapign. The visual advertisement features an exclusive remix of "Bring Your Love", created by Stuart Price.^[9] The remix, subtitled "Stuart Price Afterhours Mix" and featuring only Madonna's vocals, was released on digital platforms on June 12, 2026.^[10] Additional remixes created by Honey Dijon were released on June 18, 2026.^[11]

"Bring Your Love" is a house and dance-pop song.^[12][13][14] It was written and produced by Madonna and Stuart Price, with additional production by Parisi. The song samples Inner City's song "Good Life" (1988), therefore Roy Holman, Shanna Jackson, and Kevin Saunderson also received songwriting credits.^[15] "Bring Your Love" received comparisons to Madonna's 1990 song "Vogue", as well as Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's 2020 song "Rain on Me".^[13][16][17] Robin Murray of Clash noted that "the New York house tinged production is boosted to stadium levels".^[18] Consequence's Paolo Ragusa felt it was a "dance-forward track almost scientifically designed for runway shows."^[19]

According to Alyssa Bailey of Elle, the song addresses criticisms about Madonna's and Carpenter's public personas. She felt "they both remind the world that their love of music is what drives them to create art, not the feedback they receive."^[20] According to Pitchfork contributor Harry Tafoya, the song "operates on the idea that the dancefloor is a contested space where Madonna isn't fully welcome", adding that she "giving the track an unexpected jolt of neo-noir."^[12] Murray felt it "revels in two sides of female sexuality; Madonna's explicit, barrier-breaking eroticism, and Sabrina Carpenter's cartoonish reclaiming of her urges".^[18]

Clash's Murray described it "an all-out blockbuster", adding that Carpenter "more than rises to the occasion" and "differing perspectives and voices helping to amplify the track".^[18] Lyndsey Havens of Billboard called it "alluring and hypnotic," adding it "is sure to start summer early, as it's essentially sonic bait to lure listeners out of the house and onto the nearest dance floor".^[14] Tafoya of Pitchfork wrote that the premise of the song was "extremely vague and nonsensical", though he added that it was still "fun". He praised Price's production as "an elegant platform" for Madonna and Carpenter, and said the song's mix of "lyrical confusion and musical certainty" had a "trance-like" effect.^[12] Sebas E. Alonso of Jenesaispop said the song was neither a musical revolution nor a major reinvention for Madonna, but viewed it as an accessible summer track that could introduce her to a younger audience.^[17]

In the United States, "Bring Your Love" debuted at number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100, with 4.1 million streams, 6.6 million airplay audience, and 3,000 pure sales earned during its first week of release, for the chart week dated May 16, 2026.^[21] It was the highest new entry that week, and became Madonna's fifty-ninth Hot 100 entry. ^[22] and Carpenter's thirty-fourth.^[23] It is Madonna's first entry on the chart since "Popular" (2023), and her highest debut since "Give Me All Your Luvin'", which opened at number 13 in February 2012.^[21] On the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, the song reached number one.^[21] Additionally, the song debuted at number 29 on the Pop Airplay chart,^[24] and at number 24 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart,^[25] for the chart week dated May 9, 2026.

The video starts with Madonna entering an empty nightclub and strutting around on the dance floor. Then, the club is filled with many clubgoers, who quickly rush in from both sides, while Madonna is rolled up in a long carpet that is pushed down the dance floor, trying to get out of it.^[46] Afterwards, Madonna and Carpenter are performing on the respective corners of the club, described by Max Pilley of NME as "glossy, retro-future," with topless male dancers.^[45][43] They try to avoid the floating SWAT team who are spying on the crowd.^[46][44] Toward the end of the video, they strut toward one another on a long catwalk and come together before raising their arms.^[45] Ultimately, they float above the watching crowd.^[47] The video includes a cameo appearance by Julia Garner, whose look was described by Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone as reminiscent of the 1980s Madonna.^[46] At the end of the video, Madonna walks down a hallway and into a doorway decorated with a poster "Come to the Club of Love."^[48]
