"Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)" (meaning "And If There Were Only One Woman Left (I Would Be That One)") is the first hit single from Céline Dion's French album D'elles. It premiered on the radio in France, Quebec, Switzerland and Belgium on February 14, 2007 and was released as a digital download on the same day. The CD single was released on April 13, 2007 in Francophone countries.
"Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)" was written by Françoise Dorin (words) and David Gategno (music), who also produced the track. Dorin is a writer, born in France. Her best-selling novels include Virginie et Paul, la seconde dans Rome (1980), Les lits à une place, les jupes culotte (1984), and Les corbeaux et les renardes (1988). Other works include the plays La facture (1968), Un sale egoiste, l'intoxe (1980), and a musical comedy, La valise en carton, as well as many humorous texts. Gategno already worked with Tina Arena, Natasha St-Pier, Chimène Badi, Faudel, and Nolwenn Leroy.
The music video was directed by Thierry Vargnes in New York on January 31, 2007, and premiered on the Canadian television network TVA on April 1, 2007.
"Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)" debuted at number 1 on the French Singles Chart, becoming Dion's fifth number 1 in that country and selling 60,000 copies. It spent 25 weeks on the chart, becoming one of her longest-running singles. Dion's last song which stayed that long on the chart was "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" with 34 weeks.
In other countries, "Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)" peaked at number 2 in Quebec, number 4 in Belgium Wallonie, number 7 in Europe and number 34 in Switzerland.
