"Be the Man" (also titled "Be the Man (On This Night)") is a pop song by Canadian singer Celine Dion, recorded for her fifth English-language studio album, Let's Talk About Love (1997). It was written by Junior Miles and its producer David Foster, and released as the second single from the album in Japan on 13 November 1997 by Columbia Records.[1] "Be the Man" also served as the theme song to the Japanese television drama, Eve - Santa Claus Dreaming and was included on its soundtrack in 1997. The song was recorded in English and Japanese.
"Be the Man" was not available on editions of Let's Talk About Love released in the Americas. It reached number 24 on the Oricon Singles Chart and was certified platinum (100,000). The song became a B-side to "The Reason" single, released at the same time in parts of Europe.
The English version of the song was included later on Asian editions of Dion's 1999 greatest hits All the Way... A Decade of Song and the 2008 Japan only released Complete Best. The Japanese version of "Be the Man" became available worldwide on The Collector's Series, Volume One in 2000.
