Orbit produced Ray of Light, which was released in 1998. The album is considered by many to be one of the best works in Madonna's discography and marked the beginning of a partnership that continued at other points in the singer's career.

After Ray of Light, William Orbit collaborated with Madonna again on 2000's Music and 2012's MDNA. His career also included work with Blur, All Saints and U2.

The producer was also involved in “There Must Be More to Life Than This,” a posthumous duet by Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson released in 2014.
