"Ghosttown" is a mid-tempo pop and electro ballad recorded by Madonna for her thirteenth studio album, Rebel Heart (2015). Released as the album's second single on March 13, 2015, the track is widely considered one of her strongest ballads of the 2010s, earning critical acclaim for its emotional lyrics and vocal delivery.
The track was co-written by Madonna, Jason Evigan, Evan Bogart, and Sean Douglas. It was produced by Madonna, Evigan, and Billboard.
At its heart, the song is about human connection. Madonna stated that even if civilization collapses, "all we're going to have is each other".
It features a cinematic soundscape built on organ and drum-driven instrumentation, occasionally utilizing a vocoder on Madonna's vocals to enhance the electronic feel.
