Loved Me Back To Life gave Dion the opportunity to work with a team of exceptional producers and songwriters including Ne-Yo, Diane Warren, Tricky Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Eg White, Daniel Merriweather, Babyface, Audra Mae Butts, Play Production, Eman, Janis Ian, Danny Mercer, Andrew Goldstein, Shaffer Smith, Jessi Alexander, Tommy Lee James, Corporal, Sauce, Kyle Townsend, Dana Parish, Andrew Hollander, Aaron Pearce, Kuk Harrell and Walter Afanasieff. The album’s single and title track was written by Sham & Motesart and Sia. In addition, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder lend their talents as Dion’s duet partners.

In December of 2007, Dion concluded an unprecedented concert engagement in Las Vegas. The historic, original show, titled A New Day..., was one of the highest grossing concerts in music history, selling more than three  million tickets in its run and helping make Dion the highest-grossing touring artist in the world from 2000 to 2010.  In 2011, Celine returned to Vegas with a brand-new show titled Celine, playing to sold-out audiences since opening night. The spectacular show, which will continue for several years to come, features Dion’s greatest hits, some surprising covers and a few songs featured on Loved Me Back To Life, including the title track.

Having sold more than 220 million albums around the world, Dion is one of the most successful performers in pop music history. She has seen two of her albums — Falling Into You and Let’s Talk About Love — each achieve RIAA Diamond status in recognition of sales of more than 10 million copies in the US alone. She has been awarded five Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for My Heart Will Go On in 1998, Album of the Year and Best Pop Album for Falling Into You in 1996 and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for Beauty and the Beast in 1992. Both My Heart Will Go On and Beauty and the Beast received Best Song Academy Awards for their respective years of release.
