I'm quite surprised that here's no information and discussion about the message of this song. It's all figures and charts, but nothing about the message. Isn't that the most important thing in the song? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.25.116.50 ( talk) 23:51, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Madonna is one of the very few non-latino artists to top the Mexican Music Charts and this song happened to do so. Why is there no mention of it in the charts section? It hit number one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.39.226.133 ( talk) 20:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
There are NO samples in Sorry at all. Please do not write this again or you will be banned from editing for posting fake information.
They are all rumours, The bassline is based on the song but is NOT exactly the same. You are wrong deal with it and do NOT paste fake information. How are people supposed to know what is going on? Stuart Price has not said they sampled Jackson 5 he has been quoted as well as Madonna in saying that they "LISTENED" to Jackson 5 as well as others! The ONLY sample on the whole album Confessions on a Dancefloor is "Hung Up" Please do not do this again as it is wrong and legal action could be comissioned.
Did not steel, Used as a template. The sound is different to the song CYFI. That is all its finnished. Michael Jackson can not sue as it is different enough. Songs are allowed to be similar. Michael Jackson will not even notice he is dead to the world atm. You will be able to be sued for making accusations that are not true. Check with Californian law!
As if Material Girl is anything like CYFI you really must be Deaf or really really un-educated.

Can confirm there are no offical samples used on this song (ref UK MCPS licensing). However the bassline bears a closer resemblance to "Substance" by Dot Allison than the Jackson 5 work discussed above. -- Katstevens 14:14, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi I updated some information and cleaned up a little. The single cover image has to be replaced I do not know how to change it as someone has removed it. The proper cover is also available.
In the song madonna sings:Ik ben dronken,which means:I'm drunk,she wanted to say:Ik ben droevig,which means:I'm sad,but that isn't the right translation for the word sorry,The right translation for I'm sorry is:Het spijt me
Next time, sign talk pages with four pintas at the end of your statement... 72.130.198.232 And proper punctation...
this sounds highly unlikely
i mean , hung up was only released in november , and a new single the next month seems far too soon , i think that much be a mistake , i mean , the video hans't even been filmed yet and it has 3 weeks (at this point in time) until release in austaralia.......
singles are normally released every 3 months , witch makes feburary 2006 a much more likely release time than december 15th
and why would it be released on december 15th in australia , but 2 months later in the uk.....she has more sucess in the uk, so why delay a release there? , plus why release an australian release date , but not even one for the usa? , this sounds fake to me.....
and where esactly was all this "confirmed"......?
This has not been "confirmed" it is an observation of a report in an Australian newspaper. Sorry started airplay on the 24th November in Australia in preparation for its release. As to why it is released first in Australia before the rest of the world I can not answer. Generally singles are 3 months apart... there is no rule saying they can't be a month apart. Madonna is very successful in Australia. The video is being filmed in London.... the Hung up Video was filmed days before its release.
---> "The song samples the bass line of the Michael and Jackie Jackson penned, "Can You Feel It", from the Jackson's 1984 release, Victory."
I have removed this until someone can confirm that this song is sampled. The album notes do not credit it and as far as I know Madonna hasn't confirmed the sample. Underneath-it-All 03:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Here's the link to the article that confirms the Michael Jackson info. Madonna uses Michael Jackson sample, Fox news
Though it was from the "Triumph" album, not Victory, and written in '81, not '84...
warner bros belgium have announced that sorry will be released on monday 20th feburary in europe, it does not mention the australian and u.s release dates
i got this info from www.madonnalicious.com under the article "sorry release date" (from feburary 6th)
How many known single covers exist for "Sorry"? We cannot have it constantly changing in the template. However, if there are two major single cover releases for the song, I find it appropraite to place the standard one in the template. Solar Serenity 01:41, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
I gave the info about the vid a bit of an update :) Is what I changed OK?
"The single's video was directed by Madonna's longtime choreographer, Jamie King. Many of the performers featured in Madonna's "Hung Up" video are in her "Sorry" one."
I've been adding the list of performed languages. It is just the ones I understood, I know it is incomplete, I cannot put the correct template, sorry. Thanks for helping :) -- Sailko 07:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
On the language subject, the Hebrew is wrong. The word Sleecha means excuse me (like what you say when you want someones attention) not forgiveness. The word for forgiveness goes along the lines of "Mechilah". There is S'lach lanu which means forgive us... ( Spanglish 20:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC))
Not a regular Wikipedia user, I don't have an ID or anything like that. "Sleecha" is listed as meaning 'Pardon, forgiveness' in the Oxford English-Hebrew, Hebrew-English Dictionary (Kernemann - Lonnie Kahn, 1995) - so it does mean forgiveness. As for "Mechilah", are you confused with 'Machal' (mem, het, lamed) - 'forgive, pardon' ? And if you want someone's attention wouldn't you be more likely to say "bevakashah" - you say sleecha if you are expecting forgivenes - its like saying sorry!
An example of sleecha in everyday usage would go along the lines of "Sleecha, At mevinah Engleet?"( Spanglish 00:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC))
The saying between Hindi and Hebrew is not even close to Polish Przepraszam. Actually it is said in Lithuanian Išeik prašau (Please leave). The pronunciation would be something like ish-eyck prah-show. Peace :) ( KishKiai 16:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC))
No, it's said in Polish but she says "Prze-prasom". It written in the original text.
The equivalent of "Lo siento" in Portuguese is not "O sinto" (that would translate into something like "I feel it") but "Sinto muito", literally "I feel much" but meaning "I'm sorry". I'm that remark from the article. Not signed up yet, will do it soon. 89.155.56.45 15:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Are you sure that the Irish Language is also present in the song? I can't really hear it after the english one ... 213.235.225.91 ( talk) 10:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Has 'Sorry' sold 4.3 million? We all know it was a big worldwide hit, but 4.3 is a lot, unless you include ringtones?
"It was Madonna's first single not to enter the Canadian Singles Chart and peaked at number fifty-three."
I have serious doubt that Sorry only went #53 on Canadian charts. Digital sales peaked at #2 and Airplay peaked at #7. [1]
Could somebody clear this out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.120.67 ( talk) 16:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Can someone post a citation that this song was "controversially written" about the then-current US president? 12.162.122.6 ( talk) 07:20, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
There are too many bare URLs for this GA article. Binksternet ( talk) 19:04, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
The article contains the line "Among the various remixes, the Pet Shop Boys remix incorporated Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" with a more pronounced bassline and uses a double breakdown in the introduction"...however the reference listed didn't actually mention this topic, and there's no evidence this is true. There are no additional songwriting credits on the single, or on the PSB album "Disco 4" which also features their remix - just Madonna/Tennant/Lowe - if they had sampled something else it would have been credited. Granted, the remix does open with a "rat-a-tat-tat" sound similar to that used on the Houston song, but that's just a generic cowbell sound from a Roland TR-808 which has been used on MANY songs from the 80s and 90s - it's not even the same rhythm or in the same key.
