Something To Remember is Madonna's second greatest hits album and eleventh recording. A collection of her greatest ballad hits, the compilation also included three new songs: "I Want You", "You'll See" and "One More Chance".
Album information
Bedtime Stories had already proven that Madonna had calmed down a bit after the raunchy Erotica period. With the release of Something To Remember she took it a step further and used her new-found serenity to release a collection of her best ballads. Several of the songs selected for Something To Remember came from movie soundtracks and some had not appeared on a Madonna album before.There were three new songs of the album. Madonna worked again with producer Nellee Hooper on the song "I Want You" (which was recorded together with Bristol-based trip-hoppers Massive Attack). The song is a cover version of the classic Marvin Gaye song and it was first released on a various artists sampler Inner City Blues. "I Want You" was slated to be released as a single; a video was even shot for it. However, plans for its release were eventually canceled. "You'll See" (released as the first single) and "One More Chance" (released as a single in Europe) were the album's two other new songs which were written and produced by Madonna and David Foster. The video of "You'll See" was a sequel to the video for the previous album's "Take A Bow".
The Japanese version of the album contained "La Isla Bonita" as a bonus track, while the bonus track on the Latin American and Spanish version was "Verás", the Spanish version of "You'll See".
