D'eux
D'eux (French for "of them, "about them", or "from them"; homophonic with deux [dø], meaning "two") is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, and her tenth French-language album. It was released by Columbia Records on 30 March 1995 in Canada and on 3 April 1995 in France. It was issued in other countries in the following months. In the United States, it was released under the title The French Album. D'eux was preceded by the lead hit single "Pour que tu m'aimes encore". The album was mainly written and produced by French singer-songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman. It became the best-selling album in France, the best-selling French-language album, and the best-selling non-English language album by a female artist, with sales of over twelve million copies worldwide.
D'eux was recorded in the Mega Studio in Paris, France, in November and December 1994. Jean-Jacques Goldman, a popular French singer and songwriter, wrote and produced 11 of the 12 songs on the album. One track, "Cherche encore", was written by Erick Benzi. The album includes a duet with Goldman on "J'irai où tu iras", two successful singles "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" and "Je sais pas", and a song dedicated to Dion's niece who had died of cystic fibrosis, "Vole". The latter three tracks were recorded later in English as "If That's What It Takes", "I Don't Know" and "Fly" respectively, and were included on Dion's next album, Falling into You. D'eux was released on 30 March 1995 in Canada and on 3 April 1995 in France. It was also issued in other European countries between April and November 1995, and in the United States in May 1995. D'eux was also released in January 1996 in New Zealand, and in October 1996 in Japan. Dion's 2007 album title, D'elles, refers to D'eux, being the specifically feminine version.
The lead single, "Pour que tu m'aimes encore", was released in Quebec and in France in March 1995. It was also issued in other selected countries in the next months. "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" was very successful in Francophone countries. It topped the chart in France for twelve weeks and in the Wallonia region of Belgium for fifteen consecutive weeks. The song also reached number one in Quebec and stayed there for four weeks. It became the best-selling single of the year 1995 in both France and Wallonia. In France alone, "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" has sold nearly one million copies. The song was also successful in other countries, reaching the top ten in Belgium Flanders, the Netherlands and Sweden. Most notably, it also peaked inside the top ten in the United Kingdom and Ireland, which was an exceptional achievement for a French-language song. On the European Hot 100 Singles, "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" reached number four.
The second single, "Je sais pas", was released in Quebec in July 1995, in Belgium in August 1995 and in France in October 1995.

"Je sais pas" became one of the best-selling singles in France and Wallonia in 1995, reaching respectively numbers six and nine on the year-end charts.
"Le ballet" was issued in France in January 1996 as a promotional single. It reached number five on the Airplay Chart and was included as B-side on the next commercial single released in France, "Falling into You". Due to the success of D'eux, radio stations in Quebec started playing "Destin" in January 1996. The song spent over eight months on the Airplay Chart, peaking at number three. In May 1996, radio stations in Quebec also started playing "J'irai où tu iras", a duet with Jean-Jacques Goldman. This song reached number fourteen on the Quebec Airplay Chart. All singles from D'eux appeared on Dion's 2005 greatest hits album, On ne change pas.
