The single sold more than five million copies in its first six months of availability worldwide. [2]

Composition and release

"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.
