Background and conception

Between 1982 and 1984, Dion released three commercially successful albums.[1] Tellement j'ai d'amour... (1982) reached number three in Quebec and was certified platinum in Canada, while Les chemins de ma maison (1983) and Mélanie (1984) both topped the chart and were certified gold. In early 1985, Dion embarked on her first concert tour, performing in 50 cities across Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick.[2]

During breaks between concerts, Dion recorded C'est pour toi. The album, released on 27 August 1985, consists mainly of ballads.[1] Five tracks written and produced by Eddy Marnay and Paul Baillargeon were recorded in Boucherville, Quebec, while the remaining five were recorded in Paris, France.[3][4]
