In honour of her new career-spanning album, Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, Madonna and producer Stuart Price tell Song Exploder the story of how their collaboration and partnership led to one of the Queen of Pop’s biggest hits, Hung Up.

Song Exploder is an independent podcast where musicians take apart their songs, and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made. Each episode is produced and edited by host and creator Hrishikesh Hirway in Los Angeles. Using the isolated, individual tracks from a recording, Hrishikesh asks artists to delve into the specific decisions that went into creating their work. Hrishikesh edits the interviews, removing his side of the conversation and condensing the story to be tightly focused on how the artists brought their songs to life.
