CELINE DION RELEASES NEW SONG “DANSONS”
April 17, 2026
NEW FRENCH TRACK WRITTEN BY JEAN-JACQUES GOLDMAN OUT TODAY
Today, global icon Celine Dion releases “Dansons,” her first original song in several years. The track, written by renowned songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman, is available now.
Marking a creative reunion, “Dansons” finds Celine returning to the French repertoire that shaped the early years of her extraordinary career. Jean-Jacques and Celine have collaborated many times, most notably on the album D’eux, Celine’s wildly successful 1995 album and the best-selling French-language album of all time for which Jean-Jacques was the primary writer. Most recently, the duo worked together on the 2016 song “Encore un soir.”
“Dansons” blends the elegance, optimism, and emotional depth that are hallmarks of both Celine and Jean-Jacques, along with fierce defiance in the face of instability and the joy of connection through music.
« C’était en 2020, le monde s’arrêtait et des gens dansaient, confinés chez eux. Six ans plus tard, plus de virus mais nul besoin de changer un mot, le monde ne tourne pas plus rond, et nous dansons toujours ‘au-dessus des abîmes’ ». – JJG
Accompanying the new song is a lyric video also released today, filmed in the iconic streets of Paris by Maxime Allouche.
The release of “Dansons” arrives as Celine prepares for her recently announced and long-awaited return to the stage — an exceptional five-week residency at Paris La Défense Arena, with sixteen performances scheduled between September and October 2026 – concerts that mark the beginning of a new chapter.
