This is exactly how I feel about IDSIF but will get ripped apart here for saying it because it's dance/house. 

You won't. At least not from me. The song is an overlong interlude.

Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to release this in a month and a version completely different from what it is going viral now 💀 They really are trying to flop as hard as possible

I know right!  She has an opportunity to have a hit but she's removing the catchiness from the song!  She used to be a master at this... WTF happened???

Can we expect/Do you think there will be a video for Back That Up To The Beat?

It's a new version, right? Doesn't sound exactly like the 2014 demo.

Maybe she needed to do a Taylor a record a new version to avoid licensing it from Interscope and be able to release it as soon as possible.

I think that’s why.

The tik tok children will probably think it’s a cover 😂

[wtg1987 10,169]

More pointless pandering to the ever crud taste of tiktok tweens and again delaying the important re-issues we have been waiting months and months for and this shite song ??? why :( 

[DjKingBee 326]

I am cackling at these replies 🤣🤣🤣 Madonna loves to whip the girls into a frenzy 

[luluthecat 1,114]

Christ luv, just stick the random track up on streaming (spear 24 hours max maybe cleaning it up a bit) already and move on, it’s a viral hit already, like with Frozen, all this extra effort does NOTHING

The fact that this crap has gone viral on tiktok just shows what bad taste tweens have in music - still M will pander to them as she values their input more than real fans who’ve followed her for decades 🥹

what’s next -is someone on tiktok gonna blow up holy water 🤮

how bitter can you be

Quality over quantity is a better approach. The people are getting fatigued. Keep it classic.

 

have you told herself that?

[Redha DBL 7,348]

I heard the snippet from her insta post. The speed is the same than the demo. It's reworked, sounds stripped. Not sure if she has re-recorded her vocals, they do sound very similar to the demo. I don't hear autotune, sounds more like her vocals Are doubled and the backing vocals are vocoded, not autotuned.

[Donna 16,448]

Another meltdown from fans who think the final will be based on what is presented on Instagram.  LOL!

[Robertthenurse 2,917]

I dont get how movies from the 70s can literally look crystal clear...but for whatever reason M videos look just meh. Ah well. 

I want an I'll Rememeber release.

[RUADJAI 14,969]

I don’t know if I can go through another TikTok viral hit.

She said many times in the last years: she doesn't like to give fans what we want, so many of us are getting tired of her.

Anyway, I still hope it's close to the demo version and not those bad remixes she released this year and the eternal #soon in Madonna's vocabulary seems real soon this time.

Re-issues can wait. At least for Madonna I guess.

It’s a natural instinct for an artist still alive to keep (re)creating while they can, regardless of the reception from their fans or the critics.

So how many Back That Up’s are we going to get this time? 

[xavier 4,787]

Listened to M’s inst post a few times and it sounds pretty cool, not the demo exactly but not that much different. I like it. Sounds more electronic now. 👍

and definitely better than the Madam x version.

[TheGoth 499]

This song is such a piece of crap. Standards must be so low. But whatever.

There have been no delays to anything for any of the physical releases. In case you don't know, it takes many months planning  for physical releases , the biggest challenge for any new release for any artist is pressing the vinyl  etc for example FEL was a 12 month project. 

Responding to a viral TikTok and releasing a digital single has no impact on any of the upcoming planned physical releases obviously. M often has multiple projects happening at once - eg the SEX book reissue also had no impact on any of the releases. 

The first of the expanded albums will obviously happen next year and then you will be able to express your dissatisfaction at the content and tell us all how you aren't buying it etc

That's the magic of TikTok trends, that can not be fabricated (big labels try and fail), they just happen and no one knows why.

I know some fans hate it but personally I love how unpredictable it all is and that suddenly Madonna is "forced" to face a situation where a 2014 demo is getting attention in 2022. It's fun and different. It also forces her and everyone to think outside the box a little bit and that's always good.

yes there are many artists who over the last couple of years have seen non-singles or very old songs being picked up on TikTok and have benefited from it - from Fleetwood Mac and Abba to Bruno Mars to Chris Brown and very recently Lady Gaga  - it's a good thing. 

I think there will always be fans who will see the negative in everything hey
