“It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” is one of Celine Dion’s most iconic power ballads, featured on her 1996 album Falling into You. Written by Jim Steinman, the song is known for its dramatic structure, lush orchestration, and Dion’s powerful vocal performance. It was a massive hit worldwide, reaching the top of the charts in multiple countries, including peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
The song is about the intense emotions that resurface when memories of a past love come flooding back. The lyrics reflect the conflicting feelings of passion, pain, and nostalgia, with Celine Dion’s delivery capturing both the vulnerability and strength of those emotions. The song’s sweeping melody and theatrical production style were inspired by the epic, operatic rock ballads Steinman had previously written for artists like Meat Loaf.
The music video, directed by Nigel Dick, further enhanced the song’s dramatic effect, featuring a gothic, romantic storyline set in a mansion, with themes of love, loss, and memory.
“It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” remains one of Celine Dion’s most beloved and recognizable hits, showcasing her ability to blend emotional depth with vocal virtuosity.
