Album information

The project reunited Céline Dion and Jean-Jacques Goldman, who last worked together on the very successful album D'eux. In their first collaboration Goldman wrote songs for Dion, this time he wrote more in his own style, while letting Céline Dion sing her own unique way, like she has been singing a long time ago. Most of the arrangements on that album are simple to let her voice dominate the songs.

S'il suffisait d'aimer won a Juno Award for Best Selling Francophone Album.

The concert at the Stade de France in Paris was recorded and released as Au cœur du stade, including five songs from S'il suffisait d'aimer. It was promoted by the video of Céline Dion performing "Dans un autre monde." In addition, video from behind the scenes of the recording session of S'il suffisait d'aimer was included as a bonus on the Au cœur du stade DVD.

Some tracks from S'il suffisait d'aimer were featured on Dion's 2005 greatest hits album On ne change pas.

Chart success

S'il suffisait d'aimer is the second (after D'eux) best-selling French album of all time.
