The lyrics of “Frozen” address a cold and emotionless man who is unable to connect with others. Madonna sings, “You only see what your eyes want to see / How can life be what you want it to be / You’re frozen / You’re so consumed with how much you get / You waste your time with hate and regret.” She urges him to open his heart and experience the full range of human emotions, both positive and negative.
“Frozen” was a critical and commercial success, topping the charts in many countries around the world. The song’s innovative sound and introspective lyrics helped to establish Madonna as a leading figure in electronic music.
The song has been covered by many artists, including Swedish hard rock band Talisman and Polish industrial metal band Thy Disease. In 2021, a trap remix of “Frozen” by Canadian DJ Sickick became viral on TikTok. The remix was officially released as the first single from Madonna’s entire catalog reissue project. Madonna and Sickick released three further renditions of the remix—the version featuring Nigerian singer Fireboy DML, the version featuring American rapper 070 Shake, and the version featuring vocals from Sickick himself titled “Frozen on Fire”—all of which were supported by music videos.
