Celine Dion is back with new music, marking her first song release in years and giving fans a reason to celebrate. The iconic vocalist unveiled the track on Friday, April 17, quickly drawing attention as listeners praised the strength and clarity of her voice.

The new single, called “Dansons” (which is French for “let’s dance”), is a power ballad with a beautiful melody. The song is in Dion’s native French.

“The official video for ‘Dansons’ is now online. Link in bio,” Dion captioned an Instagram post in French. “Thanks to Esther Abrami, Lola Dubini, Victoria Dauberville & Mathieu Forget for their participation.”

Dion’s last album, Courage, was released in 2019. In 2023, she released several tracks as part of the film Love Again, according to Good Morning America.

Dansons is already receiving high praise from Dion fans around the globe, many of whom have left comments on her Instagram account reacting to the song. The track comes just three weeks after Dion announced that she’s going to be performing again.

“Over the last few years, every day that’s gone by, I’ve felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love. You’ve helped me in ways that I can’t even describe, and I’m truly fortunate to have your support,” Dion said in a statement on March 30, announcing her Paris residency, via ABC News.

“This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life…I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September!” she continued. “I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously a little nervous, but most of all, I’m grateful to all of YOU! I love you all and I’ll see you soon.”

Dion has been sidelined after being diagnosed with Stiff-person syndrome. The last time she performed a full concert was on March 8, 2020, in Newark, New Jersey, for her Courage World Tour.
