Sam Smith and Madonna have been teasing their collaboration “Vulgar” for quite some time, and they finally unleashed it unto the world. The duo brought their signature vocals to this sultry new collaboration, which is truly the best of both worlds.

The duo previously teased this catchy track on social media under the allies S&M, and “Vulgar” proved to be everything we’ve expected from it—and more! The song’s lyrics see the duo hyping each other up, while also celebrating their own sensuality.

Madonna recently introduced Smith on stage at the Grammy Awards, where the English singer delivered a headline-making performance of the smash hit “Unholy” alongside Kim Petras. Smith later shared a photo of hanging out with Madonna backstage, and captioned it by writing, “Overwhelmed, grateful, and inspired. Thank you for your love and support. I’ll never forget your kindness,” wrote Smith at the time.

The duo obviously hit it off and they started teasing their collaboration in May when they shared cover art that shows them posing in black and white corsets before posting a 15-second teaser of the track.

“Vulgar” isn’t Madonna’s only epic collaboration to hit the shelves this month. Just last week, she teamed up with The Weeknd and Playboi Carti for“Popular”, which appears on the soundtrack of the controversial HBO show The Idol.
