A cause

"A cause" (meaning "Because") is the third and last single released in France from Céline Dion's French album D'elles. It was sent to the radio stations on January 21, 2008. At the same time "Alone" was released to promote Dion's English album Taking Chances.^[1] Both tracks were included on the "A cause" promotional single.

"A cause" was written by Françoise Dorin ("Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)") and Jacques Veneruso ("Sous le vent," "Tout l'or des hommes" and "Je ne vous oublie pas" among others), who also produced this track.

Céline Dion performed it during the French TF1 TV special dedicated to the issue of her album D'elles, in May 2007. She also performed "A cause" on Vivement Dimanche during her visit in France, in November 2007. The performance was supposed to be broadcast on France 2 in May 2008, during the French leg of the Taking Chances Tour, but it was cancelled.

"A cause" was remixed by Dj Rien - French producer, composer and remixer.

There was no music video made for this track.

D'elles includes also another version of "A cause," called "On s'est aimé à cause." It was recorded with music by Marc Dupré and Jean-François Breau, and produced by Tino Izzo. This version includes the original lyrics written by Françoise Dorin, which were modified to fit the danceable arrangement of "A cause." In August 2007, "On s'est aimé à cause" was released as a radio single in Quebec. Radio stations in France started to play it at the end of January 2008, together with "A cause."
