===Background and release===
American singer [[Madonna]] recorded a cover version of "American Pie" for the soundtrack of her film ''[[The Next Best Thing]]'' (2000). Her cover is much shorter than the original, containing only the beginning of the first verse and all of the second and sixth verses. Reworked as a [[dance-pop]] track, it was produced by Madonna and [[William Orbit]]. It was recorded in September 1999 in New York City, after [[Rupert Everett]], Madonna's co-star in ''The Next Best Thing'', convinced her to cover the song for the film's soundtrack.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/517679/madonna-and-william-orbit-take-another-spin-in-studio/ |last=Kaufman |first=Gil |title=Madonna and William Orbit take another spin in studio |date=September 24, 1999 |publisher=MTV News |access-date=December 31, 2015 |archive-date=June 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160602095908/http://www.mtv.com/news/517679/madonna-and-william-orbit-take-another-spin-in-studio/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/629526.stm |title=Madonna's piece of American Pie |date=February 3, 2000 |publisher=BBC News |access-date=May 4, 2015 |archive-date=May 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150505003933/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/629526.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> Madonna said of her choice to cover the song: "To me, it's a real millennium song. We're going through a big change in terms of the way we view pop culture, because of the Internet. In a way, it's like saying goodbye to music as we knew it—and to pop culture as we knew it."<ref>{{cite news | last1 = Farber | first1 = Jim | date = February 27, 2000 | title = Mellow Madonna: the star reflects on playing a loser in love in 'The Next Best Thing' | url = https://www.nydailynews.com/mellow-madonna-star-reflects-playing-loser-love-best-article-1.874034 | work = Daily News | location = New York | access-date = December 10, 2022 | archive-date = December 10, 2022 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20221210204802/https://www.nydailynews.com/mellow-madonna-star-reflects-playing-loser-love-best-article-1.874034 | url-status = live }}</ref> "American Pie" was released as the [[lead single]] from ''The Next Best Thing'' on February 8, 2000, by [[Maverick Records]] and [[Warner Bros. Records]].<ref name="r&r"/>

"American Pie" was later included as an international bonus track on her eighth studio album, ''[[Music (Madonna album)|Music]]'' (2000). However, it was not included on her greatest hits compilation ''[[GHV2]]'' (2001), as Madonna had regretted putting it on  ''Music'', elaborating: "It was something a certain record company executive twisted my arm into doing, but it didn't belong on the album so now it's being punished... My gut told me not to [put the song on ''Music''], but I did it and then I regretted it so just for that reason it didn't deserve a place on ''GHV2''".<ref name="bbc">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/jowhiley/interviews/madonna_1_nov2001.shtml|title=Jo Whiley Interviews Madonna|date=November 23, 2001|access-date=October 25, 2015 |publisher=BBC Radio 1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011205064123/http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/jowhiley/interviews/madonna_1_nov2001.shtml |archive-date=December 5, 2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rte.ie/ten/news/2001/1123/395365-madonna/ |title=Madonna rejected 'American Pie' for GHV2 |date=November 23, 2001 |access-date=February 14, 2016 |publisher=[[Raidió Teilifís Éireann]] |archive-date=April 8, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408205345/http://www.rte.ie/ten/news/2001/1123/395365-madonna/ |url-status=live }}</ref> A remix of the song was featured on her remix compilation album ''[[Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones]]'' (2022).

===Reception===
"American Pie" was an international hit, reaching number one in numerous countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Finland. The song was the 19th-best-selling single of 2000 in the UK and the ninth best-selling single of 2000 in Sweden. The single was not released commercially in the United States, but it reached number 29 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] due to strong radio airplay.

Chuck Taylor of ''Billboard'' was impressed by the recording and commented, "Applause to Madonna for not pandering to today's temporary trends and for challenging programmers to broaden their playlists. ... In all, a fine preview of the forthcoming soundtrack to ''The Next Best Thing''."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Taylor|first=Chuck|date=February 12, 2000|title=Spotlight: Madonna "American Pie"|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|issn=0006-2510|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4Q0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA22|access-date=April 28, 2010}}</ref> [[Peter Robinson (journalist)|Peter Robinson]] of ''[[The Guardian]]'' called the cover as "brilliant".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/aug/15/madonna.50.pop.facts|title=Madonna: 50 poptastic facts|work=The Guardian|first=Peter|last=Robinson|author-link=Peter Robinson (journalist)|date=August 15, 2008|access-date=June 6, 2022|archive-date=June 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220606013640/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/aug/15/madonna.50.pop.facts|url-status=live}}</ref> Don McLean himself praised the cover, saying it was "a gift from a goddess", and that her version is "mystical and sensual".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/621291/don-mclean-praises-madonnas-american-pie/|title=Don McLean Praises Madonna's 'American Pie'|website=MTV|date=February 2, 2000|access-date=May 3, 2015|archive-date=December 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222081711/http://www.mtv.com/news/621291/don-mclean-praises-madonnas-american-pie/|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''[[NME]]'', on the other hand, gave it a negative review, saying that "[[Killdozer (band)|Killdozer]] did it first and did it better", that it was "sub-karaoke fluff" and that "it's a blessing she didn't bother recording the whole thing."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/madonna/2653|title=NME Track Reviews – American Pie|work=NME|date=February 26, 2000|access-date=October 29, 2012|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304092920/http://www.nme.com/reviews/madonna/2653|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2017, the [[Official Charts Company]] stated the song had sold 400,000 copies in the United Kingdom and was her 16th best selling single to date in the nation.<ref name="flashback">{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/flashback-madonna-scored-her-9th-uk-number-1-single-with-american-pie-17-years-ago-this-week__18424/|title=Flashback: Madonna scored her 9th UK Number 1 single with American Pie 17 years ago this week|date=March 9, 2017|access-date=March 9, 2017|last=Copsey|first=Rob|publisher=Official Charts Company|archive-date=March 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170311143749/http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/flashback-madonna-scored-her-9th-uk-number-1-single-with-american-pie-17-years-ago-this-week__18424/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Music video===
The music video, filmed in the southern United States and in London,<ref>Ciccone, Christopher (2008) ''Life with my Sister Madonna'', Simon & Schuster: New York, p.278.</ref> and directed by [[Philipp Stölzl]], depicts a diverse array of ordinary Americans, including scenes showing same-sex couples kissing. Throughout the music video Madonna, who is wearing a tiara on her head, dances and sings in front of a large American flag.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/madonna-american-pie-cover-don-mclean-anniversary-6487632/|title=Madonna Covered Don McLean's 'American Pie' 17 Years Ago Today|magazine=Billboard|date=March 3, 2015|access-date=August 17, 2023|first=Leslie|last=Richin}}</ref>

Two versions of the video were produced, the first of which was released as the official video worldwide, and later appeared on Madonna's ''[[Celebration: The Video Collection]]'' (2009). The second version used the "Humpty Remix", a more upbeat and dance-friendly version of the song. The latter aired on [[MTV]] in the US to promote ''The Next Best Thing''; it features different footage and new outtakes of the original while omitting the lesbian kiss. Everett, who provides backing vocals in the song, is also featured in the video.<!-- per WP:PLOT -->
