Over the summer, Charli spoke about her relationship with Madonna, saying that the pair had enjoyed “a mini-break together, essentially” in Paris .

At the time, Charli denied that she had worked on a new song with Madonna when asked by BBC Radio 6 Music’s Nick Grimshaw.

“We’ve met before in the past but I don’t know that she knows that – but we were put together on a group text just a couple of weeks ago, which is obviously insane,” she told the host.

“If your dance floor feels dead, maybe you’re playing the wrong music,” she wrote on social media.
