"J'irai où tu iras" (meaning "I'll Go Where You Go") is a duet between Céline Dion and Jean-Jacques Goldman from Dion's D'eux album. It was released as a promotional single in Quebec in April 1996.[1]

The track was written and produced by Jean-Jacques Goldman.

There was no video made for the song. Dion performed this song many times during her concerts and TV shows. She sang it as a live duet also with Garou, Luke Mervill and her band members. During the D'eux Tour and the Let's Talk About Love Tour the singer/songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman came on stage during the Paris concerts to sing the song together with Dion. She performed it during her 2008-09 Taking Chances Tour and during her historic performance in front of 250,000 spectators to celebrate Quebec's 400th anniversary, which was included on Céline sur les Plaines DVD in 2008. She sang it in Quebec together with Nanette Workman.

The song was featured on Céline Dion's greatest hits compilation On ne change pas (2005). Live versions were a part of three other albums: Live à Paris (1996), Au cœur du stade (1999), and Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert French edition (2010). The latter was performed with Marc Langis, the bassist in Dion's band.

"J'irai où tu iras" entered the Quebec Airplay Chart on May 11, 1996 and peaked at number 14. It stayed fourteen weeks on the chart.
