"To You I Belong" is a song by Irish girl group B*Witched. Written by the band, Ray "Madman" Hedges, and Martin Brannigan, it was released as the third single from their self-titled 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.
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!"[2]
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.
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 dancing an Irish reel for the bridge on "C'est la Vie", the human rollercoaster for "Rollercoaster" and the facial hand gesture for "Blame It on the Weatherman".
