Sooner or Later (Madonna song)
"Sooner or Later" is a song recorded by the American singer Madonna, and written by the American composer Stephen Sondheim, for the 1990 film, ''Dick Tracy''. Released that same year on Madonna's album ''I'm Breathless'', the song won Sondheim an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1991.〔 The song's title as listed in the film credits, and in the official Academy Award records, includes the subtitle "(I Always Get My Man)"; however, this subtitle is not shown on ''I'm Breathless''.
==Background==
In 1990, Madonna was part of the film ''Dick Tracy'' starring as Breathless Mahoney—a new role introduced for her— with Warren Beatty playing the titular character. Madonna told ''Premiere'' magazine that initially she had waited for Beatty to call her for the film. But when he did not, the singer decided to involve herself voluntarily. She pursued the part of Mahoney, but offered to work for minimum wages to avoid favoritism. The film was released in the United States on June 15, 1990,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dick Tracy )〕 and was the third-highest opening weekend of 1990.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1990 Domestic Grosses )〕 ''Dick Tracy'' was the ninth-highest grossing film in the US in 1990, and number twelve globally.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1990 Worldwide Grosses )〕 The film also received positive reviews from critics. Roger Ebert from the ''Chicago Sun-Times'' praised the matte paintings, art direction and prosthetic makeup design, stating: "''Dick Tracy'' is one of the most original and visionary fantasies I've seen on a screen".
According to J. Randy Taraborrelli, author of ''Madonna: An Intimate Biography'', by the 1980s record labels started to release albums which were closely associated with a film, thereby gain double promotion. These were mostly termed as soundtracks although many of them were not related to the film. After the shooting for ''Dick Tracy'' was over, Madonna started working on the soundtrack. She had begun recording three songs by Stephen Sondheim for the film—"Sooner or Later", "More" and "What Can You Lose"—which would be part of the album, but also had to write and develop new songs comparable in style to the previous. In her favor, she produced the entire album, including the Sondheim songs. "I want people to think of me as a musical comedy actress. That's what this album is about for me. It's a stretch. Not just pop music, but songs that have a different feel to them, a theatrical feel", she said at the time.
