I'll Remember...2006

"Get Together" produced by Madonna and Stuart Price, was released as the third single from the “Confession On a Dancefloor” album on June 6, 2006. Initially the song "Jump" was to be released as the third single from the album but a decision was made to release “Get Together” instead of “Jump” spurred by the fact that "Get Together" was the third best-selling digital single from the Confessions on a Dance Floor album. Its digital sales stood at 20,000 at that time, whereas digital sales for "Jump" were only 9,000. It was also released to coincide with the start of Madonna's Confessions Tour. 

Contemporary critics appreciated the song, calling it fluid in nature and a wonderful dance track. They complimented Madonna's ability to turn cliché comments into pop slogans with the song. After its worldwide release, the song became a success on the dance charts of the United States but failed to enter the official Billboard Hot 100 chart. It reached the top ten in the countries Canada, the United Kingdom and Italy and topped the chart in Spain.

The music video was an animated version of Madonna's live performance at the Koko Club in London on November 15, 2005 during her promotional tour for the album.  It was inspired by the work of Italian comic-book artist Milo Manara and retro science fiction.

Madonna also performed the song on her Confessions Tour in 2006.  In 2007, the song was nominated in the category of Best Dance Recording at the 49th Grammy Awards but lost to Justin Timberlake's 2006 single "SexyBack".

The cover artwork for the single features Madonna and her Confessions Tour crew members, including the song's producer Stuart Price. The photo alternatively can also be found on the inlay cover of the I'm Going to Tell You a Secret DVD.

THE MADGESTY COLLETION: 2006




Jump, written by Madonna, Stuart Price and Joe Henry was supposed to be released as the third single from Confessions on a Dancefloor.  However, since "Get Together" was decided as the third single, "Jump" was released as the fourth and the final single from the album, on October 31, 2006 by Warner Bros. Records.  Madonna sings in her lower register in the song. Its lyrics talk about self-empowerment and sufficiency while looking for the prospects of a new relationship.
Contemporary critics complimented the song and its empowerment theme. They compared it to Madonna's 80s music and praised the club-anthem like quality of the song. The song peaked inside the top ten of the charts of some European countries, while peaking the chart in Italy and Hungary. In the United States, "Jump" charted in several Billboard dance charts.




The accompanying music video portrayed Madonna in a blond bob wig and a leather ensemble. It was shot in Tokyo during her 2006 Confessions Tour stopover. Madonna sang the song in front of a number of neon signs. The video also featured dancers who performed the physical discipline parkour. It was also incorporated in her Confessions Tour where Madonna and her dancers jumped around the stage actively, while singing the song.
