Swae Lee revealed what it’s like to work with Madonna during an interview with Variety. 

“I was very excited when Madonna approached me,” he said. “It was dope to hear that she loved MY music, you know what I’m saying? I jumped to whatever she wanted me to do. We chilled in the studio in L.A. Just me, her and Mike Dean just coming up with songs… singing in front of her live, and we would just bounce ideas off each other, it was cool.”
