Confessions on a Dance Floor is the tenth studio album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on November 9, 2005, by Warner Bros. Records. A departure from her previous studio album American Life (2003), the album incorporates influences from 1970s disco, 1980s electropop, and 2000s club music. Madonna initially worked with Mirwais Ahmadzaï but later felt that their collaboration was not moving in the direction she wanted. She then began collaborating with Stuart Price, who was overseeing her documentary I'm Going to Tell You a Secret. The album was recorded mainly at Price's home studio, where Madonna spent much of the recording period.
