The follow-up to her commercially successful album ''The Colour of My Love'' (1993) and French-language ''D'eux'' (1995), ''Falling into You'' showed a further progression of Dion's music. Throughout the project, she collaborated with Jim Steinman, who wrote and produced "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," among others. Several songs were produced by David Foster, including Diane Warren's "Because You Loved Me." Generally, Dion worked with fourteen producers on ''Falling into You'' and a variety of songwriters and musicians. ''Falling into You'' won many awards around the world, including Grammy Award for Album of the Year and Best Pop Album at the 39th annual ceremony, during which Dion performed live.

It topped the charts around the world, including number one in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Australia and many more. It became one of the best-selling albums of 1996 and 1997 in various countries and also one of the top-selling albums of the decade. It was certified Diamond, Multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold around the world. The album has sold eleven million copies in the US, over two million in the UK, and over one million in Germany, France, Canada and Australia. In Europe, it has sold over nine million units. Five singles were released from the album in Europe, four in Australia, and three in North America. The major success came with the release of "Because You Loved Me," theme from ''Up Close & Personal'' (number one in the United States, Canada and Australia), "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (number one in Canada, Belgium and number two in the US), and Eric Carmen's "All by Myself" (top ten in various countries, including number four in the US). ==Conception and composition== ''Falling into You'' presented Dion at the height of her popularity, and showed a further progression of her music. The album combined many elements: ornate orchestral frills and African chanting, and instruments like the violin, Spanish guitar, trombone, the cavaquinho, saxophone and supreme string arrangements, which created a new sound. The singles also encompassed a variety of musical styles. "Falling into You" (originally by Marie-Claire D'Ubaldo) and "River Deep, Mountain High" (Ike & Tina Turner's cover) made prominent use of percussion instruments. "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (originally by Pandora's Box) and "All by Myself" (Eric Carmen's cover) kept their soft-rock atmosphere, but were combined with the classical sound of the piano. The ballad, "Because You Loved Me" written by Diane Warren, served as the theme to the 1996 film ''Up Close & Personal''. The album also included English adaptations of songs from ''D'eux'': "If That's What It Takes" ("Pour que tu m'aimes encore"), "I Don't Know" ("Je sais pas") and "Fly" ("Vole"). Outside North America, ''Falling into You'' featured also a cover of Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." In Asia, Japanese hit "To Love You More" was added as well. Additionally, the non-US editions of the album included "Your Light" written and produced by Aldo Nova and the Spanish/Latin America editions featured "Sola Otra Vez," a Spanish-language version of "All by Myself." Dion worked on ''Falling into You'' with many producers, mainly with Jim Steinman, David Foster, Ric Wake, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Humberto Gatica. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Falling into You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
