My Love: Essential Collection is the third English-language greatest hits album by Canadian recording artist Celine Dion. It was released by Columbia Records on 24 October 2008 as the follow-up to her previous English-language compilation, All the Way... A Decade of Song (1999). My Love: Essential Collection consists of Dion's most successful singles, including: "My Heart Will Go On", "Because You Loved Me", "The Power of Love" and "It's All Coming Back to Me Now". It includes one new track, "There Comes a Time". Expanded editions titled My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection and The Essential Celine Dion 3.0 were also released. In July 2011, the album was reissued with the same track listing as part of Sony's The Essential line. The album was not released in Japan, where Sony Music Entertainment instead released Complete Best.
My Love: Essential Collection topped the albums charts in the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland, as well as the compilation album chart in France. My Love: Essential Collection peaked at number two in Canada, number five in the United Kingdom and number eight in the United States. It was certified four-times Platinum in the UK, double-Platinum in Canada and Ireland, Platinum in Belgium and Gold in Mexico, Finland, New Zealand and Hungary. In most territories, the album's first single was a live recording of "My Love", a semi-autobiographical song written for Dion by Linda Perry, originally released on Taking Chances (2007). In France, a new remix of "I'm Alive" was released as a promotional single instead.
