“Like a Prayer” foi escrita e produzida em parceria entre Madonna e Patrick Leonard, marcando uma mudança para uma abordagem mais artística e pessoal na composição de Madonna.
A canção combina pop rock, dance‑pop, gospel e funk, e inclui vocais de coral e um solo de guitarra rock, além de letras com palavras litúrgicas que foram interpretadas como duplo sentido entre sexualidade e religião.
O single liderou as paradas em vinte países, entre eles Brasil, Austrália, Canadá, Itália, México, Nova Zelândia, Espanha e Reino Unido, e nos EUA foi o sétimo número‑um de Madonna na Billboard Hot 100, permanecendo no topo por três semanas consecutivas.
O videoclipe, dirigido por Mary Lambert, provocou controvérsia ao mostrar imagens de violência, cruzes em chamas e Madonna beijando um santo negro, levando o Vaticano a condená‑lo e provocando boicotes de grupos religiosos e da Pepsi, que cancelou a campanha publicitária embora tenha mantido o pagamento de US$ 5 milhões a Madonna.
“Like a Prayer” figura em seis turnês de Madonna, incluindo a mais recente Celebration Tour, e foi incluída em compilações de maiores sucessos como The Immaculate Collection (1990) e Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones (2022).
