Released in 2012, Turn Up the Radio brought a brighter, more euphoric tone to the later part of the MDNA singles campaign. Produced with Martin Solveig, the track combines dance-pop, electropop and Eurohouse elements, with a chorus built for release rather than confrontation. It was released on 29 June 2012 as the fourth and final single from MDNA. 

Turn Up the Radio closes the MDNA singles run on a note of movement and release. It may not carry the controversy or visual severity of other songs from the era, but it gives the album a useful burst of brightness. Within the archive, it works as MDNA’s open-window moment: polished, fast-moving and built for escape at high volume.
