On 1 October 2003 Dion taped the 1 fille & 4 types TV special at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where she performed this song among others.
The music video, directed by Yannick Saillet, was filmed in Las Vegas in October 2003 and released in late December. It was included on Dion's 2005 video compilation On Ne Change Pas. The song reached top 20 in the Francophone countries, including number 14 in Belgium Wallonia and number 16 in France. It was also very popular in Quebec, peaking at number 2.
"Et je t'aime encore" was performed during the A New Day... show, from November 2003 till mid-2004, and included on the A New Day... Live in Las Vegas album. It was also featured on Dion's greatest hits compilation On ne change pas in 2005. "Et je t'aime encore" was performed in 2016 during Dion's Summer Tour 2016 and her French concerts in 2017.[2]
Betty Clarke from The Guardian wrote about the English version: "But when she stops trying to be relevant and ceases to be a one-trick pony with a vast lung capacity (as she does on the folky Je T'aime Encore), Dion proves she can be more than a series of hollow - if album-shifting - sentiments."[3]
