Background and release

[edit]

On 19 December 2017, Dion shared a photo of her and Swedish songwriter and producer Jörgen Elofsson in the Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas and wrote "great fun, making beautiful music".[3] Elofsson co-wrote hits for many artists, including Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears and Westlife. On 7 June 2019, Dion premiered a new song, "Flying on My Own" during her Las Vegas residency show, Celine.[4][5][6] Before performing it, she said "I have been waiting for a long, long time for… It's my brand new song. I have to admit that my knees are shaking right now, I'm very nervous".[4][7] The EDM song was written by Elofsson, Liz Rodrigues and Anton "Hybrid" Mårtensson, and produced by Elofsson, Hybrid and Ugly Babies.[8][9][10][11] The performance in Las Vegas was filmed and uploaded to Dion's YouTube channel the next day.[12][4] On 8 June 2019, Dion also concluded her 16-year residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.[4][13][14] The digital download of "Flying on My Own" (Live from Las Vegas) was released on 9 June 2019.[15] The studio version of the song was released digitally on 28 June 2019, along with the Dave Audé remix, and was included on Dion's album, Courage, released in November 2019.[16][4][17] According to Sony Music, the song is more of a gift to fans than an official single from the album.[18] "Flying on My Own" was not sent to radio stations, but it was launched on Spotify, Apple Music and all other streaming platforms.[18] Dion performed "Flying on My Own" during her BST Hyde Park concert in London on 5 July 2019.[19] On 12 August 2019, DJ Riddler premiered his official remix of "Flying on My Own".[20]

Critical reception

[edit]

"Flying on My Own" received positive critical reviews. Mike Wass from Idolator described it as a soaring dance-pop anthem, an incessantly upbeat, campy banger.[21] Furthermore, it suggests that Dion's upcoming album, Courage, is going to be full of surprises.[21] According to Hilary Hughes from Billboard, with "Flying on My Own", Dion has "written" her own Sin City nightclub anthem.[5][13] Hughes added that the impact Vegas' nightlife has had on Dion's music is felt in every undulating rhythm and groove in the song.[5][13] CBC Music also praised it writing that Dion soars on this dance anthem as she embraces the "winds of change" as she sings.[22] According to CBC review, it is the beat drop of the chorus paired with Dion's "tremendous emphasis" of the words "my own" that make this track "truly take off".[22]
