"To Love You More" is a single by Céline Dion, released commercially in Japan on October 23, 1995. "To Love You More" was recorded for a popular Japanese TV drama series, called Koibito Yo (meaning My Dear Lover), and included on The Colour of My Love album re-release from October 21, 1995. The song was re-released on April 5, 1999 in Japan, this time as a maxi-single with club remixes created by Tony Moran. "To Love You More" was released also as a promotional single in Canada from Live à Paris album in October 1996. In the United States it was a radio single from Let's Talk About Love, released on May 11, 1998. "To Love You More" was issued as a promo single also in Brazil the next year. This song was featured on the following albums: - The Colour of My Love - Japanese re-release (as the last single from this album);
- Falling into You - Japanese/Asian edition;
- Live à Paris - released as the second radio single from this album in Canada;
- Let's Talk About Love - U.S. edition (released as the third single from this album);
- All the Way… A Decade of Song - included here as one of the greatest hits.
 In 1996, Sony Music Entertainment released a promotional video showing live performance from the Falling into You Tour, with Taro Hakase on violin. "To Love You More" won a Golden Disc Award in Japan for Best Single of the Year. Live versions of this song can be found on Live in Memphis VHS, Au cœur du stade DVD and All the Way… A Decade of Song & Video DVD. Céline Dion performed it five nights a week during her show A New Day... at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, and lately during her 2008-09 Taking Chances Tour. "To Love You More" became a smash hit in Japan, where it hit number 1 (for 5 weeks) and sold 1,238,970 copies. Céline Dion was the first international artist who reached number 1 on the Oricon Singles chart, since Irene Cara's "Flashdance... What a Feeling" in 1983. The song is still the second best-selling song by a international artist and the best-selling single by a international female artist in Japan. It is one of the only three international songs to sold more than 1 million, with "Beautiful Sunday/Sleepy Head" from Daniel Boone and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" from Mariah Carey. In Canada, "To Love You More" peaked at number 4 on the Quebec Airplay chart and number 5 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary. "To Love You More" was also very successful on American radio, although the edited version played by most U.S. radio stations omitted Kryzler & Company's violin bridge and also chopped out a sizeable chunk of the song's ending. It spent 8 weeks at number 1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and reached number 11 on the Hot 100 Airplay. The song was included on the "Taking Chances" Japanese CD single in 2007. "To Love You More" was popularized by Sarah Geronimo in the Philippines and reached number 1 on the Filipino radio stations. CoCo Lee did a version that has appeared in karaoke videos.
