Hung Up is a song by American singer-songwriter Madonna. It was written and produced in collaboration with Stuart Price, and released as the first single from her tenth studio album, Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005). Initially used in a number of television advertisements and serials, the song was released as the albums lead single on October 18, 2005. It has also made an appearance on her 2009 greatest hits album, Celebration. It also became Madonnas first track to be released to the iTunes Store for digital download. Hung Up prominently features a sample of pop group ABBAs hit single Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), for which Madonna personally sought permission from ABBA songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Musically the song is influenced by 1980s pop, with a chugging groove and chorus and a background element of a ticking clock that suggests the fear of wasting time. Lyrically the song is written as a traditional dance number about a strong, independent woman who has relationship troubles.
