Goal! Madonna and Feid Score FIFA World Cup Release With ‘Read My Lips’

Madonna fans score a surprise late goal with the release of “Read My Lips,” a new addition to the Official FIFA World Cup 26 album.
“Read My Lips” is the Queen of Pop’s bilingual collaboration with Latin star Feid, and it arrives late Thursday, June 25, a “Bonus Edition” cut from the all-star FIFA World Cup collection, which now expands to 20 tracks.
Produced by Madonna, Stuart Price and Tainy, the song first reached our ears in Madonna’s Confessions II – The Film, which premiered earlier this month at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival, a 13-minute visual project centered around her upcoming album Confessions II, and is now available for the first time as a complete release.
It’s shaping as a Madonna Summer. The superstar singer will drop the full length album, Confessions II, on July 3.
Then, two weeks later, on Sunday, July 19, she’ll join BTS and Shakira on stage at MetLife Stadium for the first-ever halftime show at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.
With all the activity surrounding her short film, new music and concerts, Madonna hasn’t forgotten about her long-gestating biopic.
In a recent Interview cover story, the “Like a Virgin” singer spoke openly about why the screen project has experienced so many delays, from her perspective. “I was supposed to make a movie about my life,” she began. “I worked on my script for two years and spent two years at Universal Studios with the line producers doing budgeting and casting. We had a falling out, me and Universal, regarding budget because I needed — I’ve had an extraordinary life. I’ve had a huge life, so I needed a big budget.”
Confessions II, it turns out, was born from those frustrations.
The film project was first announced by Universal Pictures in 2020. After Julia Garner was cast in the starring role and Madonna worked on two versions of the script, news broke in 2023 that the project had been scrapped by the studio. In May 2025, the seven-time Grammy winner partnered with Shawn Levy to create an autobiographical series about her life, a few months after which the Weapons actress appeared to hint that she was still involved.
The actress recently appeared in Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Bring Your Love” music video, which dropped earlier in June, another teaser for Confessions II.
The Official FIFA World Cup 26 Album (Bonus Edition) features recordings by Andrea Bocelli, Daddy Yankee, Future, The Rolling Stones and more. Stream it below.
