Illuminati
"Illuminati" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Madonna for her thirteenth studio album Rebel Heart (2015). It was written by Madonna Ciccone, Toby Gad, Maureen McDonald, Larry Griffin Jr., Mike Dean, Kanye West, Ernest Brown and Jacques Webster. The song was produced by Madonna, West, Dean and Symbolyc One, with co-production by Charlie Heat and additional production by Travis Scott. The song's demo was leaked to the internet in December 2014, with twelve other tracks from the album. Its final version was released on December 20, 2014, with five other tracks on iTunes store as "an early Christmas gift" to avoid further leaks. The song's demo version features dance synths and acoustic guitars; after showing the song to West, he felt connected to the song and changed it to a darker sound. The song was conceived after Madonna was accused of being a member of the Illuminati; she wanted to write a song about who they really are and what they are not.

Lyrics
It's not Nicki or Lil Wayne
It's not Oprah and Obama, the Pope and Rihanna
Queen Elizabeth or Kanye
It's not pentagrams or witchcraft
It's not triangles or stacks of cash
Black magic or Gaga, Gucci or Prada
Riding on the Golden calf
The all-seeing eye is watching tonight
That’s what it is: truth and the light
The all-seeing eye is watching tonight
Nothing to hide, secrets in sight
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati (oh woah, woah, woah, woah)
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati (oh woah, woah, woah, woah)
It's the enlightenment that started it all
The Founding Fathers wrote it down on a wall
And now the media's misleading us all
To right or to wrong
It's time to dance and turn this dark into somethin'
So let the fire burn, this music is bumpin'
We're gonna live forever, love never dies
It starts tonight
Behind the curtain of the New World Order
It’s not platinum-encrypted commerce
It's not Isis or the Phoenix, pyramids of Egypt
Don't make it into something sordid
It's not Steve Jobs or Bill Gates
It's not the Google of United States
It's not Bieber or LeBron, Clinton or Obama
Or anyone you love to hate
The all-seeing eye is watching tonight
That’s what it is: truth and the light
The all-seeing eye is watching tonight
Nothing to hide, secrets in sight
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati (oh woah, woah, woah, woah)
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati (oh woah, woah, woah, woah)
You know that everything that glitters ain't gold
So let the music take you out of control
It's time to feel it in your body and soul
Come on, let's go
We're gonna dance and turn the dark into somethin'
So let the fire burn, this music is bumpin'
We're gonna live forever, love never dies
It starts tonight
It's like
It's like
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati (oh woah, woah, woah, woah)
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati (oh woah, woah)
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati (oh woah, woah, woah, woah)
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati (oh woah, woah, woah)
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati
Everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati
It's like everybody in this party
Shining like Illuminati
