Céline Dion wants the world to dance together.
She makes the request in a new song, “Dansons,” which translates to “Let’s Dance.”
The song, which was written by Jean-Jacques Goldman and released Friday, is the Quebec singer’s first release in years.
It comes weeks after she announced a series of concerts to be held in Paris, her return to public performance following her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms.
The French-language song is a tender and intimate call for connection in the face of instability.
She urges the listener to “dance to be and stay upstanding, because we owe it to ourselves for all those who are immobile, because it’s useless, because it’s you and me.”
The song dropped along with a music video, which is directed by Max Allouche.
Dion is not featured in the video, which includes couples slow dancing in the streets — and in one case, on a roof — in Paris.
That’s where Dion will hold her series of concerts. She initially announced six shows, but due to popular demand increased the number to 16.
They’re scheduled for between Sept. 12 and Oct. 17.
