“My Heart Will Go On” – Single by Celine Dion from the album Let’s Talk About Love and Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack.

The song first appeared on the Titanic soundtrack, released November 7, 1997, which sold at least 15 million copies worldwide even though the rest of the album is comprised of James Horner’s instrumental pieces written for the film. This was a huge boon for Sony Records, which released the soundtrack; when they made the deal, they paid $800,000 for the rights, as it was long before the song was written.

A week after the soundtrack was released, the song appeared on Dion’s solo album Let’s Talk About Love, which went to #1 in most territories and sold somewhere around 30 million copies worldwide. The RIAA certified both the soundtrack and Dion’s album as Diamond, for sales of over 10 million in the United States.

The song’s unexpected and enduring success echoes that of the film, which went way over budget and was delayed for months. The gaudy production seemed doomed to a similar fate as the title vessel, but it was a triumph, taking in a record 1.8 billion worldwide a the box office in its initial run and winning 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Song for “My Heart Will Go On.”

The version used in the film is far more spartan than the one used on the albums and released as a single. Walter Afanasieff was brought in to produce the track and do the arrangements, turning the song into the majestic orchestral piece that became so successful.

For the music video, director Billie Woodruff shot footage of Dion in a Los Angeles studio that was intercut with footage from the film.

Worldwide, this was the biggest selling single of 1998. In the UK it sold 1,312,551 copies, making Celine Dion the only woman with two million-selling singles in the UK. (The other was 1994’s “Think Twice.”)

This was named the best film song of all time in a 2010 survey decided by listeners of the UK radio station Magic. Runner-up in the poll was Take That’s “Rule The World” and in third place came Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.”

This won the 1998 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Song Of The Year and Best Song for a Motion Picture.

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
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

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go ’til we’re gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we’ll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
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

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
