What to know about "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion
"My Heart Will Go On" is the powerful theme song from the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as star-crossed lovers who meet onboard the ill-fated ship. Dion recorded the power ballad for the film soundtrack and later included the song on her 15th studio album, Let's Talk About Love.
Interestingly, Dion revealed in a 2024 Vogue interview that director James Cameron was initially hesitant about a pop ballad appearing within the film's haunting narrative. But after Dion took the ballad to meteoric heights on the demo recording, it was a shoo-in inclusion. "My Heart Will Go On" went on to become one of cinematic history's most iconic film themes.
Titanic's replay-worthy theme won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, along with Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the Grammys. "My Heart Will Go On" has since become one of the most beloved love songs of all time.
