Born to Be with You is the fourteenth solo studio album by Dion, released in October 1975. Six of the eight tracks were produced by Phil Spector,[2] who had expressed admiration of Dion's earlier work with his doo-wop group, Dion and the Belmonts.

Upon completion in 1974, Spector himself shelved the release for twelve months, only to find the album was largely met with indifference by the music establishment at the time. However, in the 1990s, the album began to receive widespread critical acclaim. Artists such as Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream cited it as a key influence.[3]

The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
