Background[edit]
"I See You in a Different Light" was written by Diane Warren and produced by Guy Roche for Chanté Moore's third studio album This Moment Is Mine (1999).[1] Warren is also credited as an executive producer on the track.[1] The song replaced album opener "If I Gave Love" as the album's second single after singer Jennifer Lopez had released her debut single "If You Had My Love," a "nearly identical song" to worldwide success several months before.[2][3] With "I See You in a Different Light" becoming a commercially less successful release, Moore later expressed her regret about backing off from their plans to release "If I Gave Love."[4]
Music video[edit]
A music video for "I See You in a Different Light," directed by Steve Willis, was filmed in September 1999.[5] Shot at New York City's modern Ace Gallery,[6] it features Moore and Hailey performing in Gaultier wardrobe from "eccentric rooms and hallways."[6] Partially inspired by James Cameron's science fiction film The Abyss (1989),[6] it was edited by Christopher Lovett and produced by Bruce Coleman for DNA, Inc, with Pixel Envy providing special effects.[6]
