Isn’t she a marvel. Facing the death of her beloved husband, a worldwide pandemic, raising 3 children, battling a serous health condition and she still delivers. Never puts a foot wrong. Move over people. The queen has returned. 

This.

[Dane]

The song is lovely, from the message to the way it's sang... I don't speak French but her pronunciation is so clear that I could learn French just with this song.

I love how this song’s meaning touches on René, her illness, and her love of dancing. He is such a talented writer!

Going by the lyrics, does it sound like it could have been written at the same time as EUS

[Mlaroche2711]

If she can record vocals like this for new music then I am confident we are going to hear the Céline from the early 10s.

The song was written by JJG in 2020. Vocals were recorded last year. That is what was told last monday to journalists during the listening sessions.

She also lost a brother and her mum. Rest in peace Thérèse and Daniel, you can be proud of the family’s baby !

[Surprise Surprise]

The song is beautiful, I can’t stop listening to it. I’ve cried so much. It’s a great comeback. Maybe it’s one of my favorite Céline songs in French.

I've just listened to It!

It is amazing to hear her voice once again💓 I am not already fond of the song as all of you guys, but it is gonna grow on me... 

I am not so sure that It Is gonna chart well, but who knows..

Welcome back Queen💓

[Shaun]

She sounds absolutely incredible. Absolutely fricking incredible.

This song really need a video.

The song sounds nice. Rather calm. Hit material? I don’t know… I don’t like the single cover. She shows us her back side, like she is walking away. I don’t like that. It looks like a model on a fashion runway show. It doesn’t fit the song at all. Who on earth is making these weird choices?

Please, do not post unofficial links here.

The song probably needs some time on me to grow, but it's beautiful and she indeed sounds amazing! Thanks for the high quality wav-link!

[anewdionhascome]

This is probably the weirdest single rollout in her career. Its a beautiful song I hope it gets proper or atleast decent promotion it deserves, we need spotify playlisting, radio etc...

The song, its like listening to Celine for the very first time again ❤️

I just listened to the snippet and she sounds AMAZING! 

I can't wait to listen to the full version, but this sounds very promising!

Before or after her dear mother passed?

Would have to have been after I would have thought

I really like the cover. Céline leaves pain and sadness behind and is about to dance ! I also love the classy outfit and its masculine/feminine mix.

[Tintin Leblanc]

Her raspy, calm voice!!! Gosh I love it! Can’t wait for the entire album to be released 

[ryba]

I was expecting a real banger. This song sounds like an album track. This single picture is just weird. 

[Alice]

What time tomorrow do you think the full song will be released?

[scarletpimpernel]

I was wondering what they are trying to say with the cover pic...

Well, at least I won't be at work then

[LukeD]

Looking back at the tour announcement, Celine said she had been doing a little dancing. Hmm... Did the Queen give us an Easter egg there? 😁

A banger for a French single?  What would have given you that impression?

The lyrics are very touching , about SPS and living before being unable to do

 

"Dansons"
 

Dansons, au-dessus des abîmes
Aux arêtes des cimes
Et les bas fonds, quittons
Volons, valsons
Dansons, quand le monde vacille
Sur un pas, sur un fil
À nos corps emmêlés
Nos mains nouées
Pour oublier nos peines
Que rien ne nous retienne
Ne nous retienne

Dansons, au-dessus des grands vides
Que nos souffles nous guident
Les corps à l'unisson
Jouez violons

Dansons, ce soir il y a bal
Au milieu des étoiles
Envers et contre nous
Doux rendez-vous

Flottons, front contre front
Flocons sur l'horizon
Flocons sur l'horizon

Dansons, pour être et rester droits
Parce qu'on se le doit
Pour tous les immobiles
Tous les sans voix ni loi
Parce que c'est inutile
Parce que toi et moi
Nos visages, nos bras
Malgré tout puisqu'on ne peut danser que debout

Dansons, inventons nos vertiges
Avant que l'on se fige
Quand l'univers hostile
Une idylle, une île
Dansons au-dessus des abîmes
Aux arêtes des cimes
Tournons puisque le monde
Ne tourne plus rond
