"If You Asked Me To" is a song written by American songwriter Diane Warren and produced by Stewart Levine and Aaron Zigman. It was first recorded by American singer Patti LaBelle for her ninth studio album, Be Yourself (1989), and also appeared on the Licence to Kill soundtrack. The song was issued as the soundtrack's second single on June 12, 1989, by MCA Records. The lyrics present the perspective of a woman addressing her partner: "If you asked me to, I just might change my mind, and let you in my life forever". In 1992, Canadian singer Celine Dion recorded her own version for her self-titled second English-language studio album. Released as the album's second single, Dion's recording reached number one in Canada and peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100.
