"I'll Remember" was released on March 8, 1994, as the soundtrack single of the 1994 film With Honors."I'll Remember" has characteristics of late Seventies styled songs. It utilizes a synthesized keyboard arrangement to bring about a continuously reverberating sound of heartbeat. Contemporary critics praised the song, hailing it as one of Madonna's best works.

Mmmm, mmmm
Say good-bye to not knowing when
The truth in my whole life began
Say good-bye to not knowing how to cry
You taught me that

Chorus (first time substitute "strength" for "love" and "saved" for "changed"):

And I'll remember the love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember the way that you changed me
I'll remember

Inside I was a child
That could not mend a broken wing
Outside I looked for a way
To teach my heart to sing

(chorus)

I learned to let go of the illusion that we can possess 
I learned to let go, I travel in stillness
And I'll remember happiness
I'll remember [i'll remember]
Mmmmm... [i'll remember]
Mmmmm...

(chorus)
[i'll remember]

No I've never been afraid to cry
Now I finally have a reason why
I'll remember [i'll remember]
(repeat 3 times, substituting "And" for "Now" the second and third times)
