According to reports, the song has received almost 8-million streams on Spotify. 

Since the tragic event - we couldn't imagine a world without the classic song. 

In 2019, Dion revealed that she almost didn't record the song, because "it didn't appeal" to hear. 

Dion said it was her late husband, Rene Angelil, who convinced her to at least record a demo of the song - which ended up being the actual recording.
