She wrote and produced the song with Canadian musician David Foster. "You'll See" was released on October 23, 1995, by Maverick Records as the lead single from the album. An acoustic pop ballad, "You'll See" features instrumentation from percussion, tremolo guitar and piano, while lyrically it speaks of independence after the end of a love affair.

The song received positive reception from contemporary critics, with reviewers praising Madonna's vocals. The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) honored it as the Most Performed Song, in their annual ASCAP Pop Awards for 1997. "You'll See" was commercially successful, reaching the top five in Austria, Canada, Finland and the United Kingdom. The single also managed to peak at number six on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 making it Madonna's 29th top-ten single on the chart.

An accompanying music video was directed by Michael Haussman, where the story line served as a sequel to Madonna's music video for "Take a Bow". An alternate Spanish version, written by Argentine singer-songwriter Paz Martinez, also received a music video, and was included on the Latin American edition of ''Something to Remember''. Madonna performed the song live on British television program ''Top of the Pops'', and on selected US shows of 2001's Drowned World Tour. In 2009, Scottish singer Susan Boyle included a cover of the song on her debut studio album ''I Dreamed a Dream''.

==Background and development== [[File:DavidFosterHWOFMay2013.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=David Foster looking to the right|David Foster, co-writer and producer of "You'll See".]] After a controversy-fueled period, Madonna's personal life had started to dominate over her musical career. "She knew it was time to make a change" as said by one anonymous member of her management team who claimed that she wanted to prove there was more to her than the constant media circus surrounding her.<ref name="tara1">{{harvnb|Taraborrelli|2002|p=251}}</ref> In November 1995, Madonna released a compilation album, ''Something to Remember'', featuring a selection of her ballads over a decade of her career and three new songs; described as a "love letter from Madonna to her fans and music lovers alike" the compilation was targeted to emphasize the singer's musical abilities, and away from the theatrics.<ref name="tara4">{{harvnb|Taraborrelli|2002|p=254}}</ref> On the album's liner notes, Madonna further explained: <blockquote> So much controversy has swirled around my career this past decade that very little attention ever gets paid to my music. The songs are all but forgotten. While I have no regrets regarding the choices I've made artistically, I've learned to appreciate the idea of doing things in a simpler way. So without a lot of fanfare, without any distractions, I present to you this collection of ballads. Some are old, some are new. All of them are from my heart.<ref name="tara1"/> </blockquote> For the new songs, Madonna worked with David Foster, a well-known producer who had worked with the likes of Barbra Streisand, Al Jarreau and Earth, Wind & Fire.<ref name="tara3">{{harvnb|Taraborrelli|2002|p=253}}</ref> Foster initially did not expect Madonna would collaborate with him, as he believed that his music would not "really [be] hip enough for her".<ref name="foster130">{{harvnb|Foster|2009|p=130}}</ref> The recording session with Foster resulted in two new songs to the final track list, "You'll See" and "One More Chance".<ref name="tara3"/> Foster commented: "At the end of the day, the songs we did were not particularly impressive, though one of them, 'You'll See', was really great. Madonna had written a great lyric ('You think that I can't live without your love / You'll see') and I thought my music was great".<ref>{{harvnb|Foster|2009|p=131}}</ref> The track was produced and arranged by Madonna and Foster, who worked on the song during the third weekend of September 1995.<ref name="billboard"/>

Musically, "You'll See" is an acoustic pop ballad.<ref name="rikk1"/> It is set in the time signature of common time, having a tempo of 90 beats per minute. The song is played in the key of E minor, with a basic sequence of Em–D–Em as its chord progression during the first half of the verse, while piano and guitar are used to play the background music. The second half of the verse expands the chord structure to Am-D-B-Em-D/C to finish the verse. The sequence shifts to Em–Am–D–G–C–F{{music|sharp}} during the chorus. Madonna's voice spans from G<sub>3</sub> to C<sub>5</sub>.<ref name="sheet">{{cite web|url=http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0049214|title=Madonna Ciccone&nbsp;– You'll See Sheet Music|publisher=Alfred Music Publishing|work=Music Notes|date=April 11, 2005|access-date=February 8, 2016|archive-date=February 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160215044338/http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0049214|url-status=live}}</ref> Throughout the chord changes progression to give Madonna's vocals dominance in the song, and after a minute the percussion starts with a tremolo guitar added later.

Amid a swirl of strings and Spanish guitars, she spews the song's declaration of romantic independence with a theatrical verve that perfectly matches the stagey, potentially overpowering tone of Foster's arrangement without flying over the heads of her youthful top 40 following.
