Madonna Taps Peggy Gou for Buoyant ‘I Feel So Free’ Remix

Madonna dropped a remix of her recent single, “I Feel So Free,” by Peggy Gou. The track, dubbed “I Feel So Free (Peggy Gou Energy Mix),” imbues the dance-ready track with an even more uplifting vibe, giving it a propulsive ’80s beat.

“I Feel So Free” comes off Madonna’s upcoming Confessions II, the pop star’s 15th studio album and a follow-up of her 2005 classic Confessions on a Dancefloor. The album is set to drop on July 3 via Warner Records. The singer also recently shared “Bring Your Love,” a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, which the paired previewed at Coachella. Madonna will return to the Tribeca Festival this summer with a new cinematic project tied to the LP.

“People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong,” Madonna said in a statement about Confessions II. “The dance floor is not just a place, it’s a threshold: a ritualistic space where movement replaces language.”

She added, “We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect — with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people. Sound, light, and vibration reshape our perceptions. Pulling us into a trance-like state. The repetition of the bass, we don’t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.”

Madonna is set to perform as part of the first ever halftime show at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final alongside BTS and Shakira. The July 19 event will take place MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and raise funds for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative working to provide access to quality education and football for children worldwide.
