This is Madonna’s most underrated song

Madonna’s had so many hits. How do you even choose between “Holiday” or “Material Girl?” While a lot of her songs get the attention they deserve, there’s one that got pushed by the wayside that totally should have received more praise. That special song is the 1994 ballad, “I’ll Remember.”

Prior to the release of this song, Madonna was fueling a sex-charged persona, made iconic through Erotica and her coffee table book, Sex, according to EW. Following this, Madonna entered a more subdued and considerably more sophisticated period, marked by this gentle ballad from the movie With Honors. According to EW, Madonna’s frequent collaborator, Patrick Leonard, worked on the music for this film and he co-wrote and produced this song.

What made “I’ll Remember” so unique, according to EW, was that the song had another co-writer, Richard Page of the ’80s ‘Broken Wings’ group Mr. Mister.

“I’ll Remember” is so remarkable, according to The Guardian, because its atmospheric verses pave the way “towards Madonna’s Ray of Light masterpieces.” It’s totally a game-changing tune.
