"Immortality" was composed by brothers Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb, members of the Bee Gees, specially for Canadian singer Céline Dion.

There are two music videos. First one, directed by Scott Floyd Lochmus, shows Céline Dion and the Bee Gees in the recording studio (1997). It was included as a bonus on the Au cœur du stade DVD. Second one was directed by Randee St. Nicholas and released at the end of July 1998.

The song was a commercial success reaching #1 in Brazil (the Cuca mixes). It was #2 in Austria and Germany, #4 in Europe and #5 in the United Kingdom. However, the song was never released as a single in the United States. Sony Music released there "To Love You More" instead.

"Immortality" was certified platinum in Germany (for over 500,000 copies sold), and silver in France (145,000) and the UK (200,000). Live version of this song was included on the One Night Only CD and DVD by the Bee Gees, released on November 3, 1998. Céline Dion performed this song also during her Let's Talk About Love Tour.

"Immortality" was a part of Dion's 1999 greatest hits album All the Way… A Decade of Song.
