First, in January 2000 there were rumors that "If Walls Could Talk" will be Céline Dion's next single in the UK. But two months later, Sony Music UK released "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" instead. In April 2000, the cover of the single and the tracklist became available. "If Walls Could Talk" was supposed to be released on May 5, 2000 in Mexico, but it was cancelled. They preferred to release "I Want You to Need Me." Again, in October Sony decided to release the single in Europe, Australia, Japan, and Central America, in December 2000. But the release was cancelled for the third time. The promotion of All the Way... A Decade of Song has ended.

"If Walls Could Talk" music video, directed by Liz Friedlander in 2000, was released on the 2001 All the Way... A Decade of Song and Video DVD compilation.

In 2002 Robert John "Mutt" Lange wrote and produced another track for Céline Dion - "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)."
