Behind story of Madonna's "Sorry" and "Confession... D.F."?

Question

Can anyone tell the the "behind story" of Madonna's hit song "Sorry" and the album "Confession on dance floor"?

Why or how did she make the song and the album? Do the song name and album title have any meaning?

Answer 1

The album appears to have been a reaction to her previous releases. But why not hear it straight from the horse's mouth:

"Honey, I want to dance. I wanted to be happy, silly and buoyant. I wanted to lift myself and others up with this record.

I wanted a record with no ballads. I wanted there to be no breaks, with one song segueing into the next -- just like in a disco. Whenever I make records, I often like the remixes better than the original versions. So I thought, screw that. I'm going to start from that perspective. I want to hear all these songs in a club. I approached the album from more of a DJ's point of view, but Stuart [Price] is a DJ. That really influenced the vibe -- the dance aspect -- of the record.

We listened to a lot of other people's records when we were making this - obviously ABBA and Giorgio Moroder - so to me it's more of an homage to other people's records than mine. If there are references to earlier records it's probably done unknowingly, part of our molecular structure, it comes out again and again, hopefully not too boringly and repetitive."
