Written by her with Bill Colbourne, it spent two weeks in the UK top 10, peaking at number six and spending a further 9 weeks in the top 75 (and a further 9 weeks in the top 200). The single also was a top 20 hit in Denmark, Finland, Ireland and Mexico. Gina G performed "I Belong to You" in various TV-shows, like 'Top of the Pops' and 'WOW!'.
Critical reception
British magazine 'Music Week' rated "I Belong to You" four out of five, complimenting it as "hugely catchy dance pop." The reviewer added, "It is unlikely to get as much exposure as her Eurovision contender, but deserves to be a smash." Pop Rescue stated that the song followed "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit" "perfectly as it is fairly similar in sound", noting that it "really gallops along, with a chugging fat synth line as Gina's vocals sit flawlessly on top. This is a lovely dance pop song." A reviewer from 'Sunday Mirror' described it as "high energy".'Sunday Mirror'. 9 March 1997. p. 33. Retrieved 28 November 2020.
