[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:

Dion performing "To Love You More" during the Let's Talk About Love Tour (1998).
Dion performing "To Love You More" during the Let's Talk About Love Tour (1998).

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.
