There You'll Be

Musically, "There You'll Be" is a power ballad in the key of A-flat major, set in common time.{{cite magazine|title=Chart Commentary|last=Jones|first=Alan|magazine=Music Week|page=13|date=June 30, 2001|quote=The song is a power ballad penned by Diane Warren...}}{{cite web|url=https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0040045|title=There You'll Be by Faith Hill – Digital Sheet Music|date=June 27, 2001 |publisher=Musicnotes|access-date=November 3, 2020}} Arden Lambert from Country Daily described the recording as a love song, writing, "The song starts with a mellow tone, but slowly builds up as the track advances. This melody simulates what people feel when they lose someone. Its lines speak of gratefulness to a deceased person who has shown another person that there is more to life. It is a song that looks back on all the experiences they shared together. Ultimately, it is a reminder that even if they are not living anymore, they will continue to provide comfort, as the line in the song says, "I'll keep a part of you with me / And everywhere I am there you'll be".{{cite web|url=https://www.countrythangdaily.com/lost-there-be-faith-hill/|title=To The Ones We Have Lost, "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill|website=Country Daily|date=April 18, 2018|access-date=March 26, 2020}}

Warner Bros. Records serviced "There You'll Be" to US country radio on May 21, 2001, and to contemporary hit radio the following day.{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-RandR/2000s/2001/RR-2001-05-18.pdf|title=Country: Going for Adds|magazine=Radio & Records|issue=1402|page=68|date=May 18, 2001|access-date=April 21, 2021}}{{cite magazine|title=Out of the Box|last=Gordon|first=Jaymie|magazine=Radio & Records|issue=1402|page=66|date=May 18, 2001}} Due to the track's usage in Pearl Harbor, many radio stations, especially country-music stations, began playing the single early to build up anticipation for the film's release. The week before its official release, the track received a total of 369 adds, becoming the most-added song on country radio, contemporary hit radio, and two adult contemporary formats for that week.{{cite magazine|title=Faith Hill's Summer Smash|magazine=Radio & Records|issue=1402|page=1|date=May 18, 2001}} According to Hill's website, "There You'll Be" was the second-most-added song during a single day in US radio history, after USA for Africa's "We Are the World" in 1985. Throughout the rest of northern summer, the song remained a mainstay on US radio. Immediately following the September 11 attacks, airplay for "There You'll Be" increased by 12 percent, allowing it to re-enter the top 75 of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.{{cite magazine|title=Singles Minded|last1=Pietroluongo|first1=Silvio|last2=Patel|first2=Minal|last3=Jessen|first3=Wade|magazine=Billboard|volume=113|issue=21|page=39|date=September 29, 2001}} A commercial 7-inch vinyl single and CD single were issued in the US in 2001; the 7-inch contains Hill's previous single "Breathe" as its B-side while the CD includes "There Will Come a Day" as a B-side.

In the United Kingdom, "There You'll Be" experienced a spike in airplay in mid-June 2001, receiving the biggest increase in plays and the second-highest number of adds on UK radio on the week ending June 16.{{cite magazine|title=The Official UK Airplay Charts|magazine=Music Week|page=23|date=June 16, 2001}} Two days later, the single was released physically in the UK as a CD single and a cassette single.{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/2001/Music-Week-2001-06-16.pdf|title=New Releases – For Week Starting June 18, 2001: Singles|magazine=Music Week|page=25|date=June 16, 2001|access-date=August 14, 2021}} While the cassette features the same track listing as the US CD, the UK CD includes a third track: "If I Should Fall Behind". A two-track CD with "There Will Come a Day" was issued in Europe in 2001, and the three-track version was also released in Australia and Japan. In Australia, "There You'll Be" was issued on the same day as its UK release, June 18, while in Japan, the CD was distributed on July 4.{{cite web|url=http://www.aria.com.au/issue590.PDF|title=The ARIA Report: ARIA New Releases Singles – Week Commencing 18th June 2001|publisher=ARIA|page=24|date=June 18, 2001|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20020220130000/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/23790/20020221-0000/www.aria.com.au/issue590.PDF|archive-date=February 20, 2002|access-date=April 21, 2021}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/ranking/detail.asp?cdno=110404&k=1&mode=a|title=フェイス・ヒル – 永遠に愛されて～パール・ハーバー愛のテーマ|trans-title=Faith Hill – Forever Loved ~ Pearl Harbor Love Theme|publisher=Oricon|language=ja|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010702015708/http://www.oricon.co.jp/ranking/detail.asp?cdno=110404&k=1&mode=a|archive-date=July 2, 2001|access-date=August 23, 2023}}

On May 26, 2001, "There You'll Be" debuted at number 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming that week's Hot Shot Debut.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/2001-05-26/|title=Billboard Hot 100|magazine=Billboard|date=May 26, 2001|access-date=October 19, 2023}} The song then rose up the chart and peaked at number 10 on June 30, giving Hill her fifth and final US top-10 hit. The single also reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. On the Billboard Adult Contemporary ranking, it stayed at number one for 11 non-consecutive weeks. For the issue of September 1, 2001, "There You'll Be" tied Dido's "Thank You" at number one with 1,595 detections—the first time this had happened since Billboard began using Broadcast Data Systems in 1991. Because both songs lost detections, and because the same number of radio stations were playing the two singles that week, a third tiebreaker based on the smallest decrease of plays had to be utilized; "There You'll Be" lost 125 plays while "Thank You" lost 15, so the latter song ascended to number one.{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/00s/2001/BB-2001-09-01.pdf|title=Singles Minded – All Tied Up|last1=Pietroluongo|first1=Silvio|last2=Patel|first2=Minal|last3=Jessen|first3=Wade|magazine=Billboard|volume=113|issue=15|page=65|date=September 1, 2001|access-date=September 4, 2020}}
