Faith (Celine Dion song)

"Faith" was composed by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub, while production was handled by Martin and Rami.[1] Martin also wrote for Dion her smash hit "That's the Way It Is" in 1999.[2] Beyond the production, the song was recorded and mixed by Martin and Rami.[3] It was recorded at Echo Beach Studios, in Florida.[3] In "Faith", Dion is thrilled that, in spite of her faults, her man loves her anyway.[4] On 4 October 2003, the song was selected as the next single for Canadian radio stations (Hot A/C and CHR formats).[5] On 10 October 2003, it was announced that a remix of the track was available on "TeamCeline", this remix version by the "Original 3" was released as a single.[6]

Elisabeth Vincetelli of Entertainment Weekly wrote a very positive review, stating that "One Heart's best qualities are encapsulated on Faith, a Martin track that matches a hooky chorus with pneumatic arrangements that cushion the star without overwhelming her. Ultimately, this record is about the singing, not the production or the writing."[7] The Barnes & Noble Editorial review was also positive, calling it "infectious" and that the song "benefit from Dion's beautifully subtle vocal interpretation, reminding us that for all the gloss, she's a talent to be reckoned with."[8]
