"There You'll Be" is a beautiful love song sung by American artist Faith Hill. It was first offered to Céline Dion, but she decided not to record it. She had already sung a famous romantic song for a movie, "My Heart Will Go On", and wanted to try something different.

How the Song Performed on Music Charts
"There You'll Be" came out in May 2001. It reached number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in July 2001. This was because many radio stations played the song.

The song also reached number 11 on the Billboard Country Singles Chart. On the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, it was number one for 11 weeks! In Canada, it was the number one song for three weeks.
