"Call the Man" was written by Andy Hill and Peter Sinfield who already wrote for Dion her 1995 smash hit "Think Twice," and produced by Jim Steinman who also worked on "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" among others.

The music video was directed by Greg Masuak in 1995 and already used for two other songs in edited versions: "Je sais pas" and "Next Plane Out."

The single was released commercially in Europe, peaking at #8 in Ireland and #11 in the United Kingdom. It was released during the European leg of Dion's Falling into You Tour in June 1997.

Céline Dion performed "Call the Man" with a 30-voice gospel choir during the World Music Awards ceremony, on April 17, 1997 in Monaco. She was the big winning star of that evening, winning three awards: Best-selling Canadian Female Singer, Best-selling Artist and Best-selling Pop Artist. They announced sales of 25 million for 1996. It was the second year in a row that Dion sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
