Soon (LeAnn Rimes song)

"Soon" is a song cut by American country music recording artist LeAnn Rimes. It was recorded for her compilation album I Need You (2001). It was written by Diane Warren, whom Rimes has worked with multiple times. The album version was produced by father Wilbur C. Rimes, Chuck Howard, and Mike Curb; the remix was produced by Graham Stack. It was released in August 2001 to adult contemporary radio as a promotional single from the record. It was also included in the soundtrack for the 2001 film Driven.

Its success was limited due to not receiving any promotion; it peaked at number 14 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.

Content

Critical reception
Chuck Taylor of Billboard gave a mostly neutral review. He said, "This outing is pleasant enough, but it's far from new turf. Perhaps Rimes had the right idea."
