"Soon Be Done" is the third single from Jamaican reggae artist Shaggy's debut studio album, Pure Pleasure.
The single was released on October 14, 1993, following the success of the singles "Oh Carolina" and "Nice and Lovely". The song was considered much of a step away from the simplicity of the previous singles, and as such, the release was surrounded by controversy. A music video for the song premiered in September 1993, and in 2009, was made available via Shaggy's official VEVO account. The music video features Shaggy performing the song in an underground setting. The single peaked at #39 on the UK Singles Chart, six places higher than "Nice and Lovely". The single was only released in the United Kingdom and Europe.
