"Because You Loved Me" is a song performed by Canadian singer Celine Dion on her fourth English-language studio album, Falling into You (1996). It was released on 19 February 1996 as the first single in North America and as the second single in the United Kingdom on 20 May 1996. "Because You Loved Me" was written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster, and served as the theme song from the 1996 film Up Close & Personal, starring Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Billboard ranked it as the 14th Top Love Song Of All Time.[1]

Composition and release
This section needs additional citations for verification. (May 2020) |
"Because You Loved Me" was written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster. Both Warren and Foster worked with Dion on her previous English-language albums. The song is a downtempo pop ballad in which the singer thanks a loyal loved one for guiding, encouraging, and protecting her throughout her life, and making her who she is today. Warren said that the song was a tribute to her father. "Because You Loved Me" served as the theme song from the 1996 film Up Close & Personal, starring Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. However, the song was not included on the film's soundtrack. "Because You Loved Me" was released as the first single from Falling into You in North America. It was issued as the second single in the United Kingdom (May 1996), after "Falling into You".
The song is written in the key of D♭ major with a slow tempo of 60 beats per minute. Dion's vocals span from A♭3 to A♭5 in the song. The final chorus is set in E♭ major.[3]
Critical reception
"Because You Loved Me" received positive reviews from most music critics. The Advocate described it as a "big ballad" and an "emotional roller coaster".[4] Senior editor of AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised ballads like "Because You Loved Me" on the Falling into You album.[5] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that it is, "rife with grand romance, larger-than-life production, and a climax that is best described as the musical equivalent to 4th of July fireworks".[6] Another Billboard editor, Paul Verna also highlighted the song.[7] Daina Darzin from Cash Box declared it as "a classic Adult Contemporary ballad, [with] sparkling, lush instrumentals showcasing Dion's effortless, accomplished voice. This tune's in line to follow the success of material from Waiting To Exhale and other romantic blockbusters."[8] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote, "How about this daring prediction: It'll be one of the first major hits of 1996! An expected Celine Dion media blitz this spring is certain to take her and this project far into the next galaxy".[9] The Hartford Courant noted it as a "luxurious love song".[10] A reviewer from Music Week rated it five out of five, adding that it "tugs the heartstrings like a surefire winner."[11] Stephen Holden of The New York Times praised the song, calling it this year's "Wind Beneath My Wings".[12] Richmond Times-Dispatch picked "Because You Loved Me" as one of the best songs on Falling into You.[13] Christopher Smith from TalkAboutPopMusic described it as a "beautiful, soulful ballad in her own inimitable way" and noted that Dion "turns on the power over the final choruses."[14]
Commercial performance
In the United States, "Because You Loved Me" became Dion's second number one single, after "The Power of Love" in 1994. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks and ended the reign at the top of "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. "Because You Loved Me" also topped the Adult Contemporary Singles for nineteen weeks and set a record for most weeks at number one on this chart. In the following years, only five songs spent more time at the top, including Dion's own "A New Day Has Come" in 2002 (twenty-one weeks). "Because You Loved Me" also reached number one on other US charts, including Hot 100 Airplay for fourteen weeks, Adult Top 40 for twelve weeks, Hot Singles Sales for six weeks and Mainstream Top 40 for five weeks. In April 1996, it was certified Platinum by the RIAA for selling one million copies in the US. As of April 2012[update], "Because You Loved Me" has sold 1,343,000 physical copies and 704,000 digital units, for a total of 2,047,000 copies. According to Billboard, "Because You Loved Me" is Dion's biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit, followed by "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," also from Falling into You. By the end of the 1996, "Because You Loved Me" was the most played music video on VH1 Music Fest, 21st most played on MTV Music Television, 16th most played on Much Music and 11th most played on MOR Music.[15]
In Canada, "Because You Loved Me" topped The Record Singles Chart for one week in May 1996 and also spent ten weeks at number one on the RPM Adult Contemporary Chart. It became the number-one song on the RPM Adult Contemporary 1996 Year-end Chart. "Because You Loved Me" also topped the chart in Australia for three weeks and reached number two in Ireland, number three in New Zealand and Switzerland, number four in the Netherlands, number five in the United Kingdom and Belgium Flanders, and number eight in Denmark.
In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number five and became the album's most popular track with 27 million streams, 366,000 physical CD sales and 163,000 downloads as of March 2021.[16]
It was certified 2× Platinum in Australia, Platinum the United Kingdom and New Zealand, Gold in Germany and is eligible for Silver in France. As one of Dion's biggest hits, "Because You Loved Me" was included on her both greatest hits compilations: All the Way... A Decade of Song (1999) and My Love: Essential Collection (2008). According to Billboard, as of November 2019 "Because You Loved Me" had over 154.7 million on-demand streams in the United States, becoming her second most streamed song in the country.[17]

In 2017, About.com placed the song at number 10 in their ranking of "Top 10 Celine Dion Songs".[18]
Music video
A music video was created for the song and showed Dion singing in a newsroom surrounded by several TV monitors (which is where the majority of the film takes place) interspersed with clips from the film Up Close & Personal. It was directed by Kevin Bray in January 1996 and released in March 1996.
At the height of the song's popularity, it was played during the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team's spring game on 20 April 1996 for a football montage video tribute to quarterback Brook Berringer, who had died two days earlier in a plane crash.[19]
Live performances
During the promotion of Falling into You, Dion performed "Because You Loved Me" on various television shows in the United States, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands.
