My Heart Will Go On

"My Heart Will Go On" is a song recorded by the Canadian singer Celine Dion as the theme for the 1997 film Titanic. Composed by James Horner with lyrics by Will Jennings, it was issued internationally as a single by Columbia Records and Epic Records on November 24, 1997, and appeared on Dion's album Let's Talk About Love (1997) and the Titanic soundtrack. Horner developed the melody as an instrumental motif for Titanic before proposing a vocal version. The Titanic director, James Cameron, initially opposed the inclusion of a pop ballad, but approved it after hearing Horner's demo.
