I'm Going to Tell You a Secret is the first live album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on June 20, 2006 by Warner Bros. Records. It was recorded during one of her Paris shows of the successful 2004 Re-Invention Tour and contained a double disc DVD/CD format. The DVD disc contains the 2005 documentary I'm Going to Tell You a Secret, directed by Jonas Åkerlund and the CD contains live highlights from the tour. The album has sold an estimated 1 million copies.[1]

The documentary was originally called The Re-Invented Process in reference to the Re-Invention Tour it documents, as well as the song from her American Life studio album and photo exhibition, "X-Static Process".

The album includes Madonna's live cover version of John Lennon's "Imagine" and the original demo version of "I Love New York", a track found on her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. The track was originally recorded as a rock song before being included on Confessions on a Dance Floor in dance form.

It was nominated for a 2007 Grammy Award in the category Best Long Form Music Video.
