"To You I Belong" is a song by Irish girl group B*Witched. Written by the band, Ray "Madman" Hedges, and Martin Brannigan, it was released as the third single from their self-titled debut album (1998) on 7 December 1998. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart the same month, giving the band their third UK chart-topping single.
Claudia Connell from News of the World wrote, "Like C'est La Vie, this follow-up ballad has a distinctly Irish flavour which lets the girls display their considerable vocal talents." She added, "Yes, this could even knock Cher off the top!" [2]
The accompanying music video for "To You I Belong" was directed by Katie Bell, who would later also direct the video for "I Shall Be There".[ citation needed ] Like the song itself, the video has a Christmas feel to it: it features a cold, icy forest and a large lake.[ citation needed ]
During performances, lead singer Edele Lynch occasionally wore finger cymbals with which she would clap in-time with the cymbals in the music.[ citation needed ] The song has a distinctly "Irish" or "Celtic"-pop ballad feel, featuring a tin whistle intro, bridge, and riffs throughout; whistle was played on the album and live by Chris "Snake" Davis.
