New French Single: Dansons - 17 April, 2026

[Davey84]

The video is nice, especially for a lyrics video, but I wish there was a bit more involvement/inclusion of same sex couples....

Bad News is I fell asleep about 4 seconds in… good news is it played on a loop since I was out cold good for views 🤣

Beautiful song and boring video. I’d rather watch Dee put Celine’s bun together. 😴 

I also put it on a loop and casted it on my tv. It’s been a really peaceful and sleepy morning listening to dreamy Celine and the Paris sights and sunsets ☺️😍🥰💃🏽 🕺🏻🌅🌞

[anewdayhascome]

what are they doing? now the views will split between the video they posted with just the audio and now this lyric video... Stupid. 

 

Video... as expected.... hopefully with the 2nd single it will be better... (or not...)

yep… Only 1 gay couple near the end and no women pair.

Has it finally been confirmed whether the song is a leftover from Encore un soir or a newly recorded track? According to Wikipedia, it’s a song recorded a few months ago, while according to X, it’s an older recording that was a leftover from Encore un soir… I respect that you like it, but I think it’s one of her worst songs—too bland. She wasted a great opportunity.

They tried to get more involved but they all fell asleep when shooting the video, 🤣 

[comingback]

It reminds me that people have always loved to dance during difficult times (WW2).

So many couples and only one gay couple from afar? She has so many gay fans. I'm disappointed.

Official music video 

 

Ok Celine isn’t in the Video but I think it’s very fitting and works.  It’s very positive and that’s what people need right now.

well apart from the concert big exposure, musically the comeback does not seem handled better than before. I am not talking here about the quality of the song but how it's being done. I was expecting something better after all these posters and Eiffel Tower event...

Yes in the press release from Sony Music, see few pages back, it's stated that the song was written in 2020. Journalists were told that the vocals are recent (last year).

She wasted a great opportunity for what exactly?

Opportunity for? While some people think it’s a questionable choice for a comeback single, people, i mean the general public, still love that song nevertheless. I don’t think she wasted any opportunity. Not saying that you’re not allowed to dislike the song but let’s not ruin the fun here

I really like the ending, an homage to les derniers seront les premiers; the song is simple, but it suits her current stage in her career. She's making a gentle comeback, and this song about connection in difficult times feels very appropriate.

I think they’ve kept this scene in the ending to make it a special thing with the ad libs but it’s not about how much scenes they used or couples.

I think this is a lesbian couple (or a woman and a nonbinary person)

 

[homerton]

Encoure un soir was years before. It’s a beautiful gorgeous song. If you don’t like it. Leave it. Simple’s !! 

[wjd]

Her comeback is proof that you can’t please all of the people, all of the time.

I absolutely love Dansons and have been humming it all day! It has a lovely melody and a wonderful vocal. I felt quite emotional this morning hearing her voice on something new for the first time in ages, similar to how I felt when I first heard Love Again.

She could sing the phone book as far as I’m concerned - to have her back and releasing new music, to hear THAT voice and know she’s doing well (personally) - I couldn’t be a happier or prouder fan.

Her team had better not let her down though…

[Nmj]

Looks like a new photo, I like it.

Why in all these pictures she is so serious though. I miss the smile. Even EUS pic has a smile despite René's death. I need some more positive vibes than what we are getting

[jpatdeleon09]

Got u!

[stevo]

She can't ever and won't ever please everyone. I do think if the song had been released alongside a video with her in it of her dancing (what she loves to do)  showing the world how far she has come from that scene in the Documentary it would have ben so powerful and given it so much more exposure. I imagine she could have done the ballet scenes on the roof....

[jpatdeleon09]

Why do I feel this song will have great visuals in her upcoming concert

They only actually needed her for a few seconds in the end…she could’ve served as a “extra” in her own music video.  They could’ve panned to her dancing while doing those adlibs in the very end. Could’ve been shot inside a Vegas studio.. it was a missed opportunity.

Oh yes, I missed them ! Thank you

[KyleVan41]

She never will please everyone.

she shows what she can do on the Olympic performance. That was a pretty intense vocal showcase ! This direction makes sense , in my opinion makes sense.

 

fyi I played it for a casual English speaking fan who said “wow that’s gorgeous

This morning I remind myself that there were a few years we all thought that this might never happen again. It's touching.

A few years ago I made peace with the fact I may never see her in concert again due to her illness.  Now we have upcoming shows and new music.  It's very emotional to see what she has gone throught and where she is now.

I'm sorry, but she makes her own opportunites. She is an artist and does what she wants to do. You can either listen to it and enjoy or not. 

There is no one golden opportunity for Celine Dion, especially in France. This is a creative statement. She can release whatever the F she wants because, as I said, she is an artist. 

It's not surprise that the cover image of this single is Celine facing away from the viewer to her own shadow. She is excavating her shadow in this song, confronting her past. She's not signing for you, and she's not si ging for me. She's singing for herself -- she's singing for the sake of her own artistry. Do you get it now?
