"I'll Remember" is the theme song to the 1994 film "With Honors", performed by American pop singer Madonna. The song was released as a single in March of 1994. It was released a year later on Madonna's 1995 ballads compilation, "Something to Remember".

ong information

The song became a big hit in the U.S. where it peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for four weeks, being blocked from top spot by All-4-One's "I Swear". The song did reach #1 on the adult contemporary chart, however, becoming Madonna's fourth #1 on this chart (following "Live To Tell", "La Isla Bonita", and "Cherish"). "I'll Remember" remained atop the adult contemporary chart for four weeks in 1994.

The first prints of the UK 5" CD Single were incorrectly pressed with track 4 playing a live version of "In This Life" instead of "Why's It So Hard". This rare Madonna mis-pressing is now an extremely valuable collector's item.

There are 2 different CD covers to this title, one is from a 1992 photo shoot (also seen as a still in the video to "Deeper and Deeper") and other (opposite top) which was released in North America which includes a photo from the "Rain" video shoot (Ironically this is the same photo which was used as the cover to the "Rain" single in the UK). When this song was released, many reviewers saw similarities between "I'll Remember" and the music of Enya, leading to the notion that Madonna's song may have been inspired by Enya.

This song was released to coincide with VHS release of "The Girlie Show - Live Down Under" and the book to accompany the tour video.

Music video

The music video for the song was quite similar to the "Rain" video. Madonna is in the studio singing the song with back up singers and clips of the film "With Honors" are shown. Also, Madonna has short black hair in the video, similar to the hairstyle of the "Rain" video, apart from the fact that in this video the hair is real and not a wig. The video was shot in January 1994 at the [http://www.onamrecords.com/A&M_Lot3.html Chaplin Soundstage] in Hollywood, California.
