"Someday (I'm Coming Back)" is a song recorded by British singer Lisa Stansfield for the 1992 American romantic thriller film The Bodyguard, starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. It was released as a single in the United Kingdom on 7 December 1992 and in other European countries in early 1993. "Someday (I'm Coming Back)" was written by Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, and produced by Devaney and Morris. The single was released from the soundtrack album. An accompanying music video, directed by Marcus Nispel, was also released. The single reached number ten in the United Kingdom. "Someday (I'm Coming Back)" was remixed by Absolute and the "Classic" remixes were created by Frankie Knuckles and David Morales.

In 2003, the song was included on Stansfield's compilation, Biography: The Greatest Hits. In 2014, "Someday (I'm Coming Back)" and remixes of the song were included on the deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of So Natural (also on The Collection 1989–2003).[1][2]

Critical reception[]

Amy Linden from Entertainment Weekly described the song as a "real beauty".[3] Howard Cohen from The Miami Herald wrote that Stansfield "glides through a catchy, soulful number".[4] Alan Jones from Music Week commented that it "is more uptempo than we've had from her of late, a cheerful uplifting and very commercial cut which draws a polished and soulful vocal performance from her, punctuated by a wailing sax."[5] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update said it is "prettily cooed".[6] Stephen Holden from The New York Times called it a "superior piece of pop-disco fluff that Lisa Stansfield infuses with a passionate intensity."[7] Bob Waliszewski of Plugged In deemed it "a positive tune about supportive romance".[8] Arion Berger from Rolling Stones noted that Stansfield "holds up a sturdy vocal wall of Jericho".[9] John Mackie from The Vancouver Sun stated that she "adds a little style and a soulful vocal to the gliding dance number".[10]
