"A World to Believe In" ["あなたがいる限り ～A World to Believe In～ (Anata ga Iru Kagiri ~A World to Believe In~?)"][2] is the second single released in Japan from Céline Dion's album Taking Chances.[3] The song was re-recorded as a duet with the Japanese singer Yuna Ito, and released as a CD single on January 16, 2008.[4] The Japanese title means "As Long as You are with Me."
"A World to Believe In" was written by Tino Izzo and Rosanna Ciciola. Izzo worked with Dion on her 2007 French-language album D'elles, producing "On s'est aimé à cause." He also produced two other tracks in the past, including "Tout près du bonheur" and "Plus haut que moi." "A World to Believe In," just like other five songs on the Taking Chances album, was produced by Grammy Award-winner John Shanks.
The track was re-recorded in October 2007 as an English-Japanese duet with Yuna Ito, retitled as "あなたがいる限り ～A World to Believe In～." Dion was impressed when she heard Ito's cover of "My Heart Will Go On", featured on the Japan only released tribute album Tribute to Céline Dion (September 26, 2007), and proposed the idea of the duet together.[5] [6] The song is also featured on Ito's album, Wish.[7]
"A World to Believe In" follows Ikimono-gakari's "Akaneiro no Yakusoku" to become the ninth LISMO cellphone service TV commercial song, aired from December 1, 2007 onwards.[8]
The single debuted at number 8 on the Japanese Oricon singles chart with 11,778 copies sold.[9] In its second week it dropped to number 22 with 5,399 copies. After eight weeks the single has sold 24,105 copies in total.
The song peaked at number 18 on the Tokio Hot 100.
"あなたがいる限り ～A World to Believe In～" (U.S.A. mix) was included on Dion's greatest hits CD, called Complete Best, released on February 27, 2008.
Yuna Ito supported Dion's concerts in Japan, during her Taking Chances Tour. Both artists performed their duet live on stage.
According to Sony BMG official blog, "A World to Believe In" Dion's solo version was the official soundtrack of Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition U.S. TV promos for the week starting November 12, 2007.
