MDNA, the 12th studio album from singer Madonna, features all new material from the pop icon, with production from French electronic musician and DJ Martin Solveig, as well as longtime Madonna collaborator William Orbit. Included on the album are the singles Give Me All Your Luvin' featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. and Girls Gone Wild.
Coming on the heels of Madonna's spectacular half-time performance at the 2012 Superbowl, the album's title is an abbreviation of her name. When asked about the title's meaning Martin Solveig revealed that it was M.I.A. who suggested the album title to Madonna, noting: “We were having a lot of fun with the initials. M.I.A. said, ‘You should call your album ‘MDNA’ because it would be a good abbreviation and spelling of your name.’ Then we realised that there were actually many different possibilities of understanding for those initials – the most important being the DNA of Madonna."
