What to know about “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion
Written by James Horner and famously recorded by Dion as the theme song for the hit 1997 film Titanic, “My Heat Will Go On” reached the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the best-selling single of 1998 (per MTV). The song also went on to win Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
In an interview with Billboard, Horner described the experience of listening to Dion record the song. “It was just electrifying. She was singing like her life depended on it,” he said.
Fun fact: The vocals to “My Heart Will Go On” were recorded in one take.
“Near, far, wherever you are,” Dion sings on the track. “I believe that the heart does go on. Once more, you open the door. And you’re here in my heart. And my heart will go on and on.”
And at the end, Dion wails, “You’re here, there’s nothing I fear. And I know that my heart will go on. We’ll stay forever this way. You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on.”
The song has not only become synonymous with the movie Titanic, it’s a pinnacle of ’90s pop culture at large. The track epitomizes a very specific moment in time — and, perhaps most importantly, immortalizes the heartthrob status of Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s become a karaoke staple and wedding song favorite.
