Imagine a world without “My Heart Will Go On” because you almost had one! In a stunning revelation, Céline Dion admitted she never wanted to record the Titanic ballad that would become her signature song. “I thought it was too simple,” she confessed, nearly turning down what would become the best-selling single of her career.

That raw emotional reaction convinced her to record what she called “a little song about a big boat.” Little did she know, those soaring vocals would launch her into superstardom and win an Oscar!
