"Falling into You" is the title track from Céline Dion's 1996 hit album Falling into You, released as the first single in Europe and Australia on February 19, 1996. In other parts of the world "Because You Loved Me" was released as the lead track.
Dion revealed the recording process of this song in her authorized biography Celine Dion : For Keeps: "I was not satisfied with the first recording we made with "Falling into You." This is a song with many nuances, with half-tones. I found the arrangements were too violent, my voice didn't flow enough. Everybody, however, the technicians, the authors, even David and René, seemed satisfied. I said nothing. But René felt that I wasn't happy… He asked me what was wrong. I explained it to him. He seemed surprised. Then I hummed him "Falling into You" describing after every time the arrangements which I was imagining. He quickly agreed with me. He seemed amazed, as if he just discovered something… I called the director and the engineer to explain how I was feeling my song, what kind of changes. They all agreed and were happy, they said it to me… This song marked a step of my emancipation as an artist… I was becoming a mature, grown-up, autonomous artist… So we came back in studio and we recorded "Falling into You" again. It never became a big song for the stage; it is too sweet, too subtle to move a crowd. But it is, in my opinion, one of the thrillest song on the album Falling into You. And I love the lyrics."
"Falling into You" is a cover of Marie Claire D'Ubaldo's 1994 song.
The music video was directed by Nigel Dick between January 18-19, 1996 in Gorbio, France and released in February 1996.
The maxi-single included "Le ballet," which was released as promotional single in France, earlier the same year.
"Falling into You" reached number 1 in Spain and became a top 10 hit in Norway (number 8) and the United Kingdom (number 10). The single has sold 170,000 copies in the UK and 165,000 in France, where it remains undercertified.
Dion performed this song live during her Falling into You Tour.
"Falling into You" became a part of the Australian edition of All the Way… A Decade of Song greatest hits in 1999, The Collector's Series, Volume One compilation in 2000 and the European version of My Love: Essential Collection greatest hits in 2008.
