Written and produced by Madonna and Shep Pettibone, the song was not planned to be released as a single initially, but its continuous radio airplay prompted Sire Records to release "Rescue Me" as the second single from The Immaculate Collection on February 23, 1991, in the United States, and as the third single on April 7 in the United Kingdom. A dance-pop and gospel-house track, the song is accompanied by the sound of thunder and rain, with the lyrics talking of romantic love rescuing the singer.
