It was Madonna's last studio album for Warner Bros. In February 2007, Timbaland said that he was working with Madonna for her upcoming eleventh studio album. Furthermore, Madonna embarked on the Sticky & Sweet Tour between 20, which went on to become the highest-grossing concert tour ever by a female artist. To promote the album, Madonna went on a small promotional tour, where she played in three cities in small venues. Other singles released were " Give It 2 Me" and " Miles Away". The first, " 4 Minutes", was a worldwide success, topping the charts in 21 countries and becoming Madonna's 37th Billboard Hot 100 top-ten hit. Three singles were released from the album. The album has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide.

Madonna had initially decided to portray herself as the Black Madonna for the cover art, and call it the same, but later felt the idea may have been seen as controversial.

Madonna had a number of songs written down for the album, which amazed Timberlake. Together they developed a number of songs for the album, but the basis of the development was Pharrell Williams's demos. The singer became interested in collaborating with Timberlake after hearing his 2006 album FutureSex/LoveSounds. The Pet Shop Boys were also asked to collaborate with Madonna on the album by Warner Bros., but the record company later changed their mind and withdrew their invitation.
Hard Candy is primarily a dance-pop record, incorporating hip hop, electropop, disco, electro, funk and R&B.
