For You I Will (Monica song)
"For You I Will" is a song by American recording artist Monica. It was written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster, and recorded for the soundtrack of the live-action/animated sports comedy film Space Jam, directed by Joe Pytka and starring basketball player Michael Jordan. One out of several songs from the album to be released as a single, it was issued in February 1997. A downtempo pop ballad, the song's lyrics involve the singer pledging love and devotion and promising to help an unnamed "you" overcome any difficulty, regardless of the magnitude.
The song debuted at an impressive number on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number four, becoming Monica's second top five single and one of her highest-charting songs of the 1990s. It was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on July 2, 1997, and ranked 13th on Billboards Top Hot 100 Hits of 1997. Elsewhere, "For You I Will" reached the top five in the Netherlands, New Zealand, and on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart. It was later included on her second album, The Boy Is Mine.Music video
