I heard this in a store last week for the time since it charted. I thought it was pretty forgettable when it was out, but I found myself really appreciating the production this time. Even though I was only 14 when the song charted, I'm still amazed at how little I apparently noticed about how soothingly quirky the production was.

The album version is kind of dull and it should not have been on GHV2 instead of her actual hits, but the maxi-single is arguably Madonna's best ever, the remixes are fantastic! The Drowned World Tour version is great as well, I wonder if she is ever going to revisit this one on tour...

I didn't get why this was released as the third single I heard it and although liked the vibe, in terms of smoothness, I thought it wasn't as catchy as other options in the album or not as good a ballad as others in her collection. Loved the remix though, much better than the album version (just wished it had included some of the verses) and the video was great too It still killed an era that could've had at least one more hit. I think it would've affected DTM performance had it been released second

I like this one, and I appreciate that she released it as the third single. The video is amazing.

WIFLf*g is good. I think they tried too hard with the whole banning of the video. I didn't really find it as bad especially since nothing was really shown except for the crash at the end.
I prefer the album version.

I really wish she'd do at least a snippet of this on tour with a new song or something, it was on GHV2 after all (even though it shouldn't have been), so not a forgotten track in the strict sense of the word.

^Should it have not been on GHV2 any less than "Human Nature," "Bedtime Story" and "Drowned World"?
The release was kinda messy, with the video set to the remix that really wasn't promoted to radio, but it was a good video.
Like HN, I have more love for the sentiment than the track itself, but it's not bad- just not one of my favorites.

The album version is nice, the Above & Beyond remix is wonderful.

Just heard this again, the album version is probably my second favorite post-2000 Madonna single after "Get Together". It's so unlike anything she did before or after, and has aged marvelously- it's so haunting yet soothing.

Great video and remix! One of her last truly great videos to me, back when they still had the budget AND concept.

I remember the video being banned way back when. I never saw it until years later on YouTube. I don't understand why it was banned either. Not my favorite song by her so I understand it not being a smash. Very forgettable honestly

One of my faves from the album. I still have the maxi-single with the remixes on it. I remember when they played the remixed version on Miami's Party 93.1 station one time.

Released as a single 20 years ago (yesterday).
The music video is now in HD on her channel and the remixes are now on streaming, including a couple that were promo-only. Some killer mixes there.

She should have recorded a video for the album version. Something cheap, doesn't matter. It would have performed better.

this song is one of my favorites from madonna. it aged very well imo. I remember playing it and not thinking much of it and then getting punched in the gut by that spoken word intro because DAMN it resonates w me so much.
