"Sooner or Later (I Always Get My Man)" is a song recorded by the American pop 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.

Story context The song is the signature song of nightclub singer Breathless Mahoney (portrayed by Madonna), and primarily performed during a montage just after Dick Tracy has placed a microphone in Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice's boardroom and operator, "Bug" Bailey, in the attic immediately above it while using a police raid of the building as a diversion. With this information source, Tracy begins a wave of arrests much to Big Boy's consternation. However, for all Tracy's success, his girlfriend, Tess Trueheart, has had enough of his apparent valuing his career over their relationship and packs to leave.PerformancesCover versionsBernadette Peters included the song on her 1997 live album Sondheim, etc.Karen Ziemba performed the song during the concert "Sondheim: A Celebration at Carnegie Hall," New York City, in 1992.
