Celebration (Madonna song)

"Celebration" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her third greatest hits album of the same name (2009). Written by Madonna, Paul Oakenfold, Ian Green, and Ciaran Gribbin, it was produced by Madonna and Oakenfold. Musically a dance-pop track with elements of electronic dance music (EDM), it recalls the singer's work from the 1980s and 1990s, while its lyrics invite listeners to join a party. The song was released on July 30, 2009, as the album's lead single, with official remixes by Oakenfold, Benny Benassi, Johnny Vicious, and Akon.

Upon release, "Celebration" received mixed reviews from music critics: some praised its club-ready energy and resemblance to Madonna's earlier hits, while others dismissed it as forgettable, generic, and lyrically weak. The track was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. Commercially, it achieved modest results in the United States, peaking at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming her 55th entry on the chart. The track found greater success internationally, topping the charts in countries including Italy, Finland, and Scotland, and reaching the top three in the United Kingdom.

The accompanying music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and features Madonna dancing, posing provocatively, and appearing alongside her daughter Lourdes Leon and then-boyfriend, model Jesus Luz. An alternate video incorporating fan footage was also released. Madonna has included the song in the set lists of her MDNA (2012) and Celebration (2023–2024) concert tours.
