"Faith" was written by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub, with production handled by both.^[1] Martin had previously written Dion's 1999 hit "That's the Way It Is".^[2] The song was recorded and mixed by Martin and Rami at Echo Beach Studios in Florida.^[3] Lyrically, it describes a relationship in which the narrator feels grateful for unconditional love.^[4]

On 4 October 2003, the track was selected for airplay on Canadian Hot AC and CHR radio formats.^[5] On 10 October 2003, a remix by the Original 3 was released through TeamCeline.^[6]

Elisabeth Vincentelli of Entertainment Weekly gave the song a positive review, writing 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 also praised the track, describing it as "infectious" and noting that it "benefit[s] from Dion's beautifully subtle vocal interpretation".^[8]
