The song became Twain's first single off The Woman in Me to not hit the top 40 at country radio. The original album version is more a poem than a song, done completely acapella. For radio airplay, the song had to be expanded lyrically and musically. It was originally released to radio in October of 1996. The music video was shot by Larry Jordan in Nashville, Tennessee on October 3rd, 1996. It was released October 26th, 1996. "God Bless the Child" was included on Twain's Come on Over tour usually accompanied by a local choir, but was not included on the 2004 Greatest Hits release. All singles sales from America were donated to Second Harvest/Kids Cafe, and from Canada to Breakfast for Learning. A memorable performance of the song was when Twain performed it at the 1996 Country Music Awards.
