[edit] Song information
"To Love You More" was recorded for a popular Japanese TV drama series, called Koibito Yo (meaning The Lovers).
It was re-released on April 5, 1999 in Japan, this time as a maxi-single with club remixes created by Tony Moran.
"To Love You More" was released also as a promotional single in Canada from Live à Paris album in October 1996. In the United States it was a radio single from Let's Talk About Love, released on May 11, 1998. "To Love You More" was issued as a promo single also in Brazil the next year.
This song was featured on the following albums:
- The Colour of My Love - Japanese limited edition (released as the last single from this album);
- Falling into You - Japanese/Asian edition (released as the first single from this album);
- Live à Paris - released as the second radio single from this album in Canada;
- Let's Talk About Love - U.S. edition (released as the third single from this album);
- All the Way... A Decade of Song.
In 1996, Sony Music released a promotional video that shows a live performance with Taro Hakase on violin, from the Falling into You Tour.
"To Love You More" won a Golden Disc Award in Japan for Best Single of the Year.
Live versions can be found on Live in Memphis VHS, Au Cœur Du Stade DVD, and All the Way... A Decade of Song and Video DVD.
Céline Dion performed it five nights a week during her show A New Day... at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
"To Love You More" became a smash hit in Japan, where it hit #1 (for five weeks) and sold 1,238,97 copies. Céline Dion was the first international artist who reached #1 on the Oricon Singles chart, since Irene Cara's "Flashdance... What a Feeling" in 1983.
In Canada, "To Love You More" peaked at #4 on the Quebec Airplay chart and #5 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary.
The song was also very successful on American radio, although the edited version played by most U.S. radio stations omitted Kryzler & Company's violin bridge and also chopped out a sizeable chunk of the song's ending. It spent eight weeks at #1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and reached #11 on the Hot 100 Airplay.
