"Revolver" is a song by American singers Madonna and Lil Wayne, included on the former's third compilation album, Celebration (2009). The song was written by Madonna, Wayne, Carlos and Steven Battey, DJ Frank E, and Brandon Kitchen. Production was in charge of Madonna and Frank E. An electropop song with elements of R&B, its lyrics compare love and sex to a violence and a revolver. David Guetta, Paul van Dyk, and Tracy Young created the track's official remixes. Following a leak on May 2009, the song was released as the compilation's second single on December 29.

Upon release, critics reacted ambivalently towards "Revolver". Wayne's verse was praised by some, while others deemed the track generic and underwhelming. The song's One Love Mix by David Guetta was awarded Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. "Revolver" had a lukewarm chart performance. It reached the fourth spot of Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart, while Guetta's remix peaked within the top 30 and 20 in Belgium and Italy. Madonna sang the track on the MDNA Tour of 2012. The use of firearms in the performance caused controversy, especially after the Aurora, Colorado shooting.
