Written in the Stars è un brano composto ed interpretato da Elton John, in duetto con LeAnn Rimes; il testo è opera di Tim Rice.
Il brano
Si tratta in sostanza di un pezzo di chiarissimo stampo pop (il titolo del testo di Tim Rice significa Scritto Nelle Stelle). Proviene dall'album del 1999 Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida ed è un duetto tra Elton John e LeAnn Rimes (si trova infatti anche nell'album della Rimes I Need You). È stata composta per il musical intitolato, per l'appunto, Aida; nello spettacolo (e nel CD Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida: the Original Broadway Cast Recording), il brano è cantato da Aida (Heather Headley) e Radames (Adam Pascal), i due protagonisti, nel momento in cui lei cerca di obbligarlo a sposare Amneris.
Written in the Stars è stata pubblicata come singolo nel 1999, ed ebbe un buon successo, lanciando LeAnn Rimes sul mercato europeo. Raggiunse peraltro rispettivamente la #2 e la #1 nelle classifiche statunitense e canadese di musica Adult contemporary. Di Written in the Stars esiste anche una versione alternativa, pubblicata come B-side; in questa versione Elton e LeAnn si scambiano le strofe.
