Great song, but I always felt that "I'm Alive" should have been the first single, or even "Sorry For Love." But both versions of the album's title track are great. I remember loving that it was the title of the album, and then the title of her Vegas show.
Although the album has its missteps (such as "Rain, Tax" and "Prayer"), I thought it was definitely a step up from her previous studio album, Let's Talk About Love, which despite being her second biggest seller ever, I feel is uneven in quality and contains far more fair to poor filler and far too few true gems.

If you liked this track, you'll be interested to hear Sweden diva Charlotte Perrelli's song "Addicted" which rips off much of "A New Day Has Come" in the verses. Love both.

LTAL seemed like a rush release to tie-in with the projects Celine was working on at the time. 1. Titanic. 2. Working with Barbra Streisand. 3. The pressure to release To Love You More in the states. 4. Working with Carole King, Bee Gees and Pavoratti. Looking back the album does seem pretty filler-ish, but it still has its bright spots.

good, but it feels a little like "watered down" Celine, like it should be a bit stronger.

Love it! One of Celine's best. I think it was #1 for 19 weeks on the R&R chart.

I heard this song at the grocery store this past weekend and was like, wow, I haven't heard this song in at least five years.
I'm kind of surprised that, as long as this song was #1 at AC, that they don't play it on the radio anymore. Come to think of it, I don't hear much of anything from her, even on AC stations. Perhaps the burn factor has something to do with that.

^ It was. It spent 21 weeks at number one on the chart. On Mediabase/R&R, it was *only* 19 weeks.

I love this song so much. I remember being obssessed with it when it came out. And I find comfort in the fat that unlike *certain other singers* she can still sing the song with ease. :)

This is my favorite Celine Dion song. I'm not a big fan of her's, but I love this song. The radio remix version though, not the original. <3

The original mix was a hit on the jazz chart (and can an admin correct the spelling pls? :))

Swedish artist Charlotte Perrelli has a ballad called "Addicted" that has striking similarities of melody in its verses as A New Day's verses have. It's kind of...interesting.

Probably my favorite from her. Brings back fond memories of 2002.

My AC station likes to rotate Celine golds. Right now the 2 Celine songs in rotation are this one and If You Asked Me To.

Bland. I'm Alive or I Surrender would have been better as the 1st single

I hated the radio remix. The original version though it's incredible. Very eatheral, so pretty.
The 3:38-3:52 part is just heavenly!
