"Soon" is a song recorded by American country music recording artist LeAnn Rimes 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; a remix produced by Graham Stack appeared on the reissue of I Need You and on the international releases of the album. It was released in August 2001 to adult contemporary radio as a single from the record.[1] [2] It was also included in the soundtrack for the 2001 film Driven.[3]

It peaked at number 14 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.

"Soon" is a ballad with a runtime of three minutes and 53 seconds.[4] [5] The song is in the key of D-flat major while Rimes' vocals span two octaves, from G3 to E5.[6] It lyrically shows Rimes trying to tell herself to forget an ex.

Critical reception
