Warner Bros. had commissioned dance remixes for the song which were released as promos to club DJs only.

Music video

The music video was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino and has the arresting visuals that is associated with him: Madonna is seen pacing back and forth in a room filled with ornate furnitures and blowing gossamer-like drapes. It is also interesting that the clip was one long continuous take, with the camera slowly zooming into Madonna and then slowly zooming back out again. Madonna shot the video on March 4, 1996 at the Confitería El Molino in Buenos Aires, Argentina during her day off from filming the movie Evita.

In her Evita diaries published by Vanity Fair magazine in 1996, Madonna made reference to the video shoot. In her writings, she specifically mentioned forgetting the lyrics of the song, suggesting she was having an identity crisis of sorts trying to juggle her own identity with that of her role in Evita. Madonna was also in the early stages of her pregnancy with daughter Lourdes while making the video. It is available on Madonna's DVD compilation The Video Collection 93:99.
