"Something Happened on the Way to Heaven" is a song by English musician Phil Collins, released in April 1990 by Atlantic, Virgin and WEA from his fourth studio album, ...But Seriously (1989). The song peaked at No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of 6 October 1990 and No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart. A live version also appears on the Serious Hits... Live! album. The song is often identified by the recurring hook, "How many times can I say 'I'm sorry'?", although the title of the song is in fact the second line of the second verse.
The song was written by Phil Collins and longtime Genesis/Collins guitarist Daryl Stuermer and was produced by Collins and Hugh Padgham. It was also included on ...Hits. The song was originally written for the film The War of the Roses.
