In 2004, after the release of her ninth studio album "American Life", Madonna began working on two different musicals: one tentatively called "Hello Suckers" and another one with Luc Besson, who previously directed the music video for her single "Love Profusion", which would portray her as a woman on her deathbed looking back on her life. Madonna collaborated with Patrick Leonard, Mirwais Ahmadzaï and Stuart Price to write new songs, and told Price to pen disco songs that sound like "ABBA on drugs". However, Madonna found herself dissatisfied with the script written by Besson and scrapped it. When she began composing "Confessions on a Dance Floor", she decided to rework "Hung Up" and include it in her record.
