"Love Again" is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion from the soundtrack album Love Again (2023). Written by Dan Wilson and Rosaileen Scher and produced by Wilson with additional production by Sara Mulford, the track was released as a promotional single on 13 April 2023. It received positive reviews from music critics and entered several sales charts, reaching number two in Quebec, number 10 in Canada, and number 86 in the United Kingdom. It also peaked at number two on the Quebec airplay chart. On 21 June 2024, "Love Again" was included on the I Am: Celine Dion soundtrack, where it topped the sales chart in Quebec.
After releasing Courage in 2019 and beginning the Courage World Tour, Dion joined the cast of the American romantic comedy-drama film Love Again, directed by James C. Strouse.[1] Filming began in October 2020 and concluded in early 2021.[2]
On 13 April 2023, Dion released "Love Again", her first new music in four years and her first since revealing in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome.[3] The song was written by Dan Wilson and Rosaileen Scher (known professionally as Rosie) and produced by Wilson with additional production by Mulford.[4] Wilson had previously co-written and co-produced "Lovers Never Die" for Dion's 2019 album Courage.[5]
The Love Again soundtrack, which includes 11 songs by Dion, five of them new, was released on 12 May 2023.[4] On 21 June 2024, "Love Again" was added to the I Am: Celine Dion soundtrack.[6]
Critical reception
Gil Kaufman of Billboard described "Love Again" as a moving ballad built around gentle piano and acoustic guitar, praising Dion's emotional delivery.[7] Nardine Saad of the Los Angeles Times called it a sweet piano ballad about overcoming grief.[8]
