"Je lui dirai" (lit. 'I will tell him') is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion from her twentieth studio album, 1 fille & 4 types (2003). It was written by Jean-Jacques Goldman and produced by Erick Benzi. In October 2004, the song was added to the French and Belgian editions of Miracle and issued as a promotional single in both countries. It entered the airplay chart in Wallonia, Belgium, where it reached number 22. A music video showing the making of the Miracle: A Celebration of New Life book was also released.
Background and release
Dion began working on her next French‑language album on 8 October 2002 in Paris, where she met with four French songwriters and producers: Jean-Jacques Goldman, Erick Benzi, Jacques Veneruso, and Gildas Arzel. After four days of rehearsals, she reunited with them in Las Vegas in May 2003 during a break from performing in A New Day.... Recording sessions took place between 2 and 11 May 2003.[1]
Goldman, who wrote and produced Dion's best‑selling French‑language album D'eux, served as artistic director for 1 fille & 4 types.[2] "Je lui dirai", written by Goldman and produced by Benzi, was included on the album upon its release in October 2003.[3]
One year later, the song was added to the French and Belgian editions of Miracle and issued as a promotional single. In 2005, it was also included on Dion's greatest hits compilation On ne change pas.[4]
