THROW BACK VIDEO: BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME CELINE DION

"Because You Loved Me" is a song by Canadian singer Céline Dion from her twenty-first studio album Falling into You. Written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster, it was released as a single on February 19, 1996 as the second from the album. A down-tempo pop ballad, its lyrics revolve around the protagonist thanking a loyal loved one for guiding, encouraging, and protecting her throughout her life, and making her who she is today. "Because You Loved Me" also serves as the theme song from the 1996 film Up Close & Personal.

The song was a commercial success. It became Dion's second single to top the Billboard Hot 100, remaining at number-one for six weeks until its reign was ended by Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby".

The song became a part of two greatest hits released by Dion: All the Way... A Decade of Song in 1999 and My Love: Essential Collection in 2008. "Because You Loved Me" could be found on the Live in Las Vegas: A New Day... DVD and it was also performed during the 2008-09 Taking Chances Tour. Live performances can be found on the A New Day... Live in Las Vegas CD, as well as the English edition of Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert DVD/CD.
