To Love You More

"To Love You More" was recorded for the Japanese television drama Koibito yo (My Dear Lover) and included on the 1995 Japanese reissue of Dion's album The Colour of My Love. The track later appeared on the Asian edition of Falling into You, on Live à Paris—where it served as a radio single in Canada—and on the US edition of Let's Talk About Love, from which it was released as a promotional single. Commercial physical releases were limited to Japan, first as a mini CD single in 1995 and later as a maxi-single with remixes by Tony Moran in 1999.^[1]

Epic Records planned to issue a double A-side single of "Zora sourit" and "To Love You More" on two CD formats and cassette in the United Kingdom on 21 September 1998. Prior to the intended release, 12-inch promotional copies of "To Love You More" containing the Tony Moran remixes were distributed to clubs. The plans were later revised, and the "Zora sourit" / "To Love You More" single was ultimately not released in the UK.

The track was included on all editions of Dion's 1999 greatest hits album All the Way... A Decade of Song and on My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection in 2008.

"To Love You More" became a major hit in Japan, topping the Oricon Singles Chart for five weeks and selling 1.5 million copies.^[2] Dion was the first international artist to reach number one on the chart since Irene Cara with "Flashdance... What a Feeling" in 1983. The song remains the third best-selling single by an international artist in Japan, and the best-selling single by an international female artist. It is also one of only three international singles to have sold more than one million copies in the country. Dion is the most recent North American artist to reach number one on the chart.

In July 2010, a full-length realtone version was certified gold for 100,000 downloads.^[3][4]

In the United States, the edited radio version—omitting the violin bridge and part of the ending—received substantial airplay. It spent eight weeks at number one on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and reached number 11 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. In Canada, the song peaked at number four on the Quebec Airplay Chart and number five on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.

In 1995, Sony Music Entertainment Japan issued a promotional video showing Dion performing the studio version. A second promotional video, released in 1996, presented a live performance from the Falling Into You Around the World Tour with violinist Taro Hakase.

"To Love You More" became one of Dion's most frequently performed songs. It appeared in the setlists of the Falling into You: Around the World, Let's Talk About Love World Tour, A New Day..., the Taking Chances World Tour, the 2018 tour, and the final year of her Las Vegas residency Celine. Dion also performed the song at BST Hyde Park in London on 5 July 2019 and during the Courage World Tour. Live versions appear on several of her DVDs, including Live in Las Vegas - A New Day....

The song received multiple awards, including the International Single Grand Prix at the Japan Gold Disc Awards,^[5] an ASCAP Pop Award, and two BMI Pop Awards for Most Performed Song in the United States.
