Wikipedia article
"'To You I Belong'" is a song by Irish girl group B*Witched. It was released as the third single from their eponymous debut album (1998) on 7 December 1998. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart the same month, giving the band their third UK chart-topping single.
Critical reception
Claudia Connell from 'News of the World' wrote, "Like C'est La Vie, this follow-up ballad has a distinctly Irish flavour which lets the girls display their considerable vocal talents." She added, "Yes, this could even knock Cher off the top!"Connell, Claudia (6 December 1998). "Single Review; The Goss the Biz". 'News of the World'.
Music video
The accompanying music video for "To You I Belong" was directed by Katie Bell, who would later also direct the video for "I Shall Be There". Like the song itself, the video has a Christmas feel to it: it features a cold, icy forest and a large lake.
Live performances
During performances, lead singer Edele Lynch wore finger cymbals which she would clap in time with the cymbals claps in the music. This became another one of B*Witched's signature performance moves, along with the Irish jig for "C'est la Vie", the human rollercoaster for "Rollercoaster" and the facial hand gesture for "Blame It on the Weatherman".
