We Asked AI to Write a Duet in the Styles of Olivia Rodrigo and Madonna

In the 1980s—the decade when pop stars really became pop stars—the biggest one in all the land was Madonna. She had the hits, the dance moves, and the photogenic appearance that the world just couldn’t get enough of. Flash-forward some 40 years and the newest kid on the block is Olivia Rodrigo.

Sadly, at least to date, the two have yet to combine forces. The world would certainly pause to experience such a thing. In lieu of the real thing, we turned to ChatGPT to write their first song.

Below is the newest AI hit pop song in its entirety.

“Breaking Rules”

(Verse 1 – Madonna)
I’ve seen the world through colored lights
In this city where we dance all night
You’re the spark that sets my soul on fire
In this neon glow, we’ll reach higher

(Verse 2 – Olivia Rodrigo)
I used to write songs in my room
But now I’m here, and I’m over the moon
You and me, we’re like star-crossed lovers
Breaking rules, causing trouble, undercover

(Chorus – Both)
‘Cause we’re living on the edge of desire
In this world of passion and fire
Madonna and Olivia, we’re unstoppable
In this duet, we’re unbreakable

(Verse 3 – Madonna)
I’ve seen the years pass like a hurricane
But with you, I’ll dance in the pouring rain
You’re the rhythm in my heart, the beat in my soul
In this crazy life, you make me feel whole

(Verse 4 – Olivia Rodrigo)
I was a teenage heartache, lost in the storm
But now I found my way, and I’m reborn
You and me, we’re like rebels with a cause
In this pop duet, we’ll break all the laws

(Chorus – Both)
‘Cause we’re living on the edge of desire
In this world of passion and fire
Madonna and Olivia, we’re unstoppable
In this duet, we’re unbreakable

(Bridge – Both)
We’ll light up the night, take on the world
With your legacy and my stories unfurled
We’re the queens of pop, and we’ll rule the stage
In this duet for the ages, we’ll ignite the blaze

(Chorus – Both)
‘Cause we’re living on the edge of desire
In this world of passion and fire
Madonna and Olivia, we’re unstoppable
In this duet, we’re unbreakable

(Outro – Both)
In this pop duet, we’re unbreakable
Madonna and Olivia, unforgettable

Talk about breaking the internet, if this duet was ever to happen for real, it might get more attention than when Madonna locked lips with other pop stars like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the MTV VMAs. Here, in this fictitious digital display, Madonna and Olivia Rodrigo simply fit perfectly together like pop star puzzle pieces.
