About the song
“I Will Always Love You” is a song written and originally performed by Dolly Parton. It was first released in 1974 as a single and later included on her album “Jolene.”
The song is a heartfelt ballad in which the narrator bids farewell to a significant person in her life, expressing deep gratitude and affection while acknowledging the need to move on. The lyrics convey a sense of bittersweet separation, with the narrator assuring the other person that, despite parting ways, she will always hold them dear in her heart.
“I Will Always Love You” became one of Parton’s most successful hits, reaching the top of the country charts. It gained even greater popularity when Whitney Houston covered it for the 1992 film “The Bodyguard,” transforming it into a global pop phenomenon. Houston’s powerful rendition introduced the song to a new generation, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. Despite its various versions, the song remains a testament to enduring love and heartfelt goodbyes.
