"To Love You More" is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion, written by David Foster and Edgar Bronfman Jr., writing under the pen-name Junior Miles. It was released as a single in Japan on 21 October 1995 and became a hit, reaching number one on the Oricon Singles Chart and selling 1.5 million copies. The lyrics are about a woman who makes an impassioned plea to her lover so that he does not leave her for another woman.
The song was recorded for a popular Japanese TV drama series called Koibito yo (meaning My Dear Lover), and was included on the 1995 Japanese reissue of Dion's album The Colour of My Love. It later appeared on the Asian edition of Falling into You, on Live à Paris, released in most territories outside of the U.S. ("To Love You More" was one of the radio singles promoting this album in Canada), and the U.S. edition of Let's Talk About Love, being released as the third (but promotional only) single from this album. The song was only released as a commercial physical single in Japan, initially as a mini CD single in 1995 and as a maxi-single with remixes by Tony Moran in 1999.[1]
In July 2010, a realtone of "To Love You More" was certified gold after selling 100,000 copies.[4][5]
"To Love You More" was also successful on the American radio, although the edited version played by most US radio stations omitted Kryzler & Company's violin bridge and omitted a sizeable chunk of the song's ending. It spent 8 weeks at number one on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and reached number 11 on the BillboardHot 100 Airplay chart. In Canada, "To Love You More" peaked at number four on the Quebec Airplay Chart and number five on the Canadian Adult Contemporary.
