Faith Hill "There You'll Be [Pearl Harbor]"



"There You'll Be" is a song by Faith Hill, which became a hit single in 2001. Written by Diane Warren, it was featured on the Pearl Harbor soundtrack. The song was also featured on Hill's Greatest Hits album entitled The Hits. "There You'll Be" was first offered to Celine Dion, who reportedly turned it down. The song's music video was directed by Michael Bay, who also directed Pearl Harbor.

Released in May 2001, "There You'll Be" reached a peak of #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 2001 due to strong airplay. No commercial CD single was released because producers wanted to boost sales of the Pearl Harbor soundtrack, which forced the song to chart solely on airplay in the United States. The song also reached #11 on the Billboard Country Singles Chart. The song was a big hit on the Adult Contemporary chart, staying at number one for 12 weeks. It was also popular in Canada, as it topped the singles chart in August 2001. It is Faith Hill's biggest hit single in the UK, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart, and is to date her only top ten single in the UK, achieving this status twice. It was nominated for a 2002 Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, but did not win either awards. On September 20, 2008, Amy Connelly gracefully sang the song in the auditions round of The X Factor and the song subsequently peaked at #4 on the iTunes Chart. This has, in turn, ensured a re-entry of the song on the official UK Singles Chart at #10. [Wikipedia]
