Madonna's song "Like a Prayer" was written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, and produced by Leonard. It was released on February 21, 1989 on the album of the same name. The song was a commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and many other international charts.

The song was written as a reaction to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the death of his father. Madonna said the song was a prayer for all the people who have been killed by hate and violence.

The song has been criticized by some religious groups because of its lyrics and video clip.

Despite the controversy, "Like a Prayer" is considered one of Madonna's most important songs, and has been included in several of her compilations.
