D'eux (meaning Of Them or About Them or From Them and homophonic with "deux", meaning "two") is a French-language studio album by the Canadian singer Celine Dion, released by Sony Music Entertainment on 30 March 1995 in Canada and on 3 April 1995 in France. It was issued in other countries in the following months; in the United States, it was released under the title The French Album. D'eux was preceded by the lead single, "Pour que tu m'aimes encore". The album was mainly written and produced by French singer-songwriter, Jean-Jacques Goldman. D'eux garnered favorable reviews from music critics and became the best-selling French-language album of all time, with sales of ten million copies.
D'eux was recorded in the Mega Studio in Paris, France, in November and December 1994. Jean-Jacques Goldman, a popular French singer and songwriter, wrote and produced eleven songs on the album. One track, "Cherche encore", was written by Erick Benzi. The album includes a duet with Goldman on "J'irai où tu iras", two successful singles "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" and "Je sais pas", and a song dedicated to Dion's niece who had died of cystic fibrosis, "Vole". The latter three tracks were recorded later in English as "If That's What It Takes", "I Don't Know" and "Fly" respectively, and were included on Dion's next album, Falling into You.D'eux was released on 30 March 1995 in Canada and on 3 April 1995 in France. It was also issued in other European countries between April and November 1995, and in the United States in May 1995. D'eux was also released in January 1996 in New Zealand, and in October 1996 in Japan. Dion's 2007 album title, D'elles, refers to D'eux, being the specifically feminine version.
