Charts and awards

"You'll Be in My Heart", eventually peaking at #21 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, was Collins's first appearance on the top forty of the Billboard Hot 100 chart since 1994's "Everyday".[2][3] The track peaked at #17 in the UK Singles Chart, continuing his success that had not stopped after "Everyday". The song went on to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the Academy Award for Best Original Song.[2] Collins performed the song live at that year's ceremony.

Other languages

The entire Tarzan soundtrack, and therefore "You'll Be in My Heart", was also written and performed by Phil Collins in various other languages beside English. The only exceptions were the Hungarian and Norwegian versions, where the whole soundtracks were performed by the Hungarian singer Akos and Norwegian singer Tor Endresen respectively. The Japanese version of the soundtrack was performed by Japanese singer Masayuki Sakamoto. Because of the multiple recordings, a Spanish version of the song, "En Mi Corazón", marks Collins' only appearance on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. The song charted at #32.[3]

Cover versions

Country singer John Berry covered the song on his record Wildest Dreams, which was released by Lyric Street, a Disney record label.

In 2005, Julie Andrews recorded the song for her album Julie Andrews Selects Her Favorite Disney Songs.

On the DisneyMania series albums DisneyMania, DisneyMania 4 and DisneyMania 6, "You'll Be in My Heart" was redone. Usher redid the song on the first album, Teddy Geiger redid the song on the fourth album, and Drew Seeley covered it on the sixth album.[4]

A karaoke version of the song is on the Brother Bear Disney Karaoke Series CD.

The song was parodied on an episode of South Park as "You'll Be in Me" as revenge of the creators' song losing the Oscar to Collins.

Michael Crawford performed the song on The Disney Album, a collection of Disney songs all sung by Michael Crawford.

American country music singer Bucky Covington covered the song on the 2008 compilation album Country Sings Disney.

One of the new members of Celtic Woman, Alex Sharpe sings this song for the "Isle of Hope" tour.

The song was heard in a 2009 commercial for Hallmark cards with sound.

Mandy Moore renamed that song "The Way to My Heart" from her second studio album "I Wanna Be With You".

Lyrics

The song is used in a scene when Tarzan's adoptive mother gorilla Kala sings that her baby should stop crying because she will protect her baby, and keep him safe and warm. She says everything will be fine and she tells him that "you will be in my heart always". In the movie the song ends on the first verse, the full version of the song on the soundtrack album notes that others don't understand why a mother and child who are so different can love each other. When destiny calls, the child is told he must be strong even if the parent is not with him. The song is one of only two songs within Disney's Tarzan to be sung (at least partly) by an actual character (the other "Stomping the Camp" is essentially just scat singing though.). The rest of the songs were performed by Collins himself and overlayed into the movie.
