"Vivre" is a song written by Luc Plamondon and Riccardo Cocciante for the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. It was first recorded in 1997 by Noa and included on the Notre-Dame de Paris album (1998). The song was also recorded by Hélène Ségara in 1998, who was selected to play Esméralda in the musical, following the withdrawal of Noa.

Celine Dion first recorded "Live (for the One I Love)", an English version of the song with lyrics by Will Jennings, for her 1999 greatest hits compilation, All the Way... A Decade of Song. In 2000, Dion's version and another recording of "Live (for the One I Love)" by Tina Arena were included on the English-language version of Notre-Dame de Paris album.

Israeli singer Noa recorded the part of Esméralda in French for the original soundtrack of the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. Released in January 1998, the soundtrack topped the albums chart in France for seventeen weeks and was certified Diamond after selling over two million copies in France alone. It became one of the best-selling albums of all time in France.

"Vivre" was released as the first single from the musical in February 1998. The track was produced by Riccardo Cocciante, Jannick Top and Serge Perathoner. It topped the singles chart in France for eighteen weeks and in Belgium for nineteen weeks. It peaked at number twenty in France in March 1998 and number twelve in Belgium Wallonia in May 1998. "Vivre" was also featured on Noa's French greatest hits album, Le Meilleur de Noa, in 1999.

## Hélène Ségara version

[edit]

In 1997, Hélène Ségara auditioned for the role of Esméralda in Notre-Dame de Paris but lost to Noa. However, after recording the cast album, Noa decided that her hectic schedule would not allow her to set off on tour with the stage version of the musical. Faced with the need for an immediate replacement, Plamondon and Cocciante cast Ségara in the role.

Ségara included "Vivre" on the 1998 re-release of her album, Cœur de verre.

Following the musical's success, all of its songs were translated into English. "Vivre" was titled "Live (for the One I Love)", and was first recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion for her 1999 greatest hits compilation, All the Way... A Decade of Song. The track was produced by David Foster and Humberto Gatica. It was released as the album's second single in francophone countries on 14 February 2000.

Dion's version was also featured on the English-language version of the Notre-Dame de Paris album, released on 21 February 2000. It was revealed at the time of release that Luc Plamondon had created the role of Esmeralda with Celine Dion in mind, which he told her when she attended the show in Paris.

The song's music video was directed by Bille Woodruff and released in 2000. It was included later on Dion's All the Way... A Decade of Song & Video DVD. The single reached top 100 on the charts in several countries, including number twenty-three in Canada, number forty-seven in Belgium Wallonia and number sixty-three in France. Dion performed the song on French television in late 1999, during her promotional tour for the album. She also sang it live during the final Let's Talk About Love World Tour show, dubbed the "Millennium Concert", on 31 December 1999.

In a review of the album, AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that the song, along with "I Want You to Need Me" and "Then You Look at Me", "[isn't bad], but [isn't] particularly memorable, especially compared to the hits".[3]

In 2000, after Tina Arena's original run as Esmeralda in the London production, fellow Australian singer and actress Dannii Minogue took over the role. Though her version of "Live for the One I Love" was never released as a single, a live music video was captured in which she performed on stage and in costume. The video was included on the 2007 DVD Dannii Minogue: The Video Collection.

In 2016, Lebanese singer Hiba Tawaji was cast as Esmeralda for the French revival of the musical. In November of the same year, her version of "Vivre" was released to download and streaming platforms. The accompanying music video, shot in Paris, features scenes along the river Seine with the actual Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral as a backdrop.
