Infobox

 * The single cover images needs an alt description
 * Most mentions of an official YT music video are done either here or in "External links"; you can either keep it here or move it below–it's your call

Paragraph 1

 * Add "recorded" before "by American singer and songwriter..."
 * Add "an" before "additional writer on the track was Pettibone."
 * Add "has" before "mixed pop and R&B genres with..."
 * This is fine I believe, I changed it to "Secret" combined.... — I B  [ Poke ] 10:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Paragraph 3

 * The "her" in "her previous short films" is unknown who is being talked about (since Madonna has also technically released short films); to clarify the pronoun I would replace "her" with "McDaniel's"
 * "Nightclub" is one word

Paragraph 2

 * The use of "drawing" before "comparisons" sounds awkward to me; I think it would be fine if you removed "drawing" altogether
 * Rest is good

Paragraph 1

 * There are only two sources in this entire paragraph, not to mention eight sentences

Paragraph 2

 * Link Billboard here since it's the first mention of it in the article, minus the lead

Paragraph 1

 * Change to "Chris Wade, author of The Music of Madonna recalled that "Secret" had been his favorite song, and commended the track's production, Madonna's vocals and mixing; he declared it as "one of Madonna's finest cuts from the whole of her 90s output."" please
 * Change to " Matthew Rettenmund wrote in his Encyclopedia Madonnica that "Secret" paved way a new direction musically for Madonna; he believed that the track was more haunting musically than Madonna's previous single "Who's That Girl" (1987) and comparable to "Justify My Love" (1990)." please
 * I didn't understand this, it is exactly how you have said. :S — I B  [ Poke ] 10:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The difference was with a semi-colon; I'll switch it for you. Carbrera (talk) 12:26, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Paragraph 1

 * You could add a topic sentence similar to what is mentioned in the lead; something along the lines of ""Secret" was a commercial success worldwide." Let me know what you decide to do
 * Nothing else here

Paragraph 2

 * Staying where? On the UK charts for ten weeks? Or at position five on the UK charts for ten weeks? Please clarify
 * Add a comma after "French Singles Chart" please
 * Add another comma after "In Austria" please

Filming and release

 * You would use "on" if it was just one date, but since it was filmed over a span of three days, I would instead say "The video was filmed during September 9–11, 1994..."
 * Shouldn't it it be "finished within three days", not "finished within two days" since it took a total of three days to film?

Certifications

 * No 'titled' certification for the UK, yes?
 * Nope, sadly she has over 75,000 copies to be sold to be even silver in the UK. — I B  [ Poke ] 10:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

End of GA Review:
Great article! On hold for seven days, without a doubt it will pass with a few minor changes. Cheers, Carbrera (talk) 18:06, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Done all for now. — I B  [ Poke ] 10:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding swiftly, I have already read over it all. Thanks again. Carbrera (talk) 12:26, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
