Sam Smith and Madonna team up in the sensual single “Vulgar
Sam Smith has teamed up with Madonna for her new single “Vulgar”. Find out below.
The song has been released today (June 9) and comes after the two artists announced the collaboration on social media under the alias “SXM”.
Released through Capitol, the star-studded single was produced by Smith himself, alongside Ilya, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, Ryan Tedder and Jimmy Napes. It also features the collaboration of Madonna’s vocal engineer and vocal producer, Lauren D’Elia.
Trying to put the “S&M” into BDSM, the single features sultry lyrics from the two pop stars. “All black with strappy heels, moving like Madonna/Rico like I’m in the Louvre, I’ve got nothing left to prove,” says Smith.
“Let’s get into the crack, you know what to do/Boy, get down on your knees cause I’m Madonna,” Madonna later says. “If you’re fucking with Sam tonight, you’re fucking with me / So watch what you say or I’ll break your banana.”
The two musicians began teasing the single last month, first sharing the cover art for the track, which featured close-ups of their bodies in black and white corsets.
Later, the ‘Unholy’ singer too took his nets socials to post a 15-second teaser for the track, revealing the release date, song title, and her new alias with the ‘Like A Virgin’ singer, ‘SXM’.
Madonna also teased fans with a snippet of the single on her TikTok page, sharing a video of herself in leggings and a cross necklace, singing one of her verses in “Vulgar.”
“Do you know how to spell my fucking name?” he asks at the end of the song. “BITCH. Say our fucking names.”
