The Look of Love (Madonna song) "The Look of Love" is a song by American singer Madonna from the soundtrack album to the 1987 film "Who's That Girl". It was the third and final single release from the album and was released on November 25, 1987 by Sire Records. While shooting for the film, then called "Slammer", Madonna had requested that producer Patrick Leonard develop a downtempo song that captured the nature of her film persona. She later wrote the lyrics and melody to the backing track developed by Leonard, and the song became "The Look of Love". Madonna was also inspired by actor James Stewart's performance in the 1954 film "Rear Window" when writing the song.
