"Where Does My Heart Beat Now"
Song

"Where Does My Heart Beat Now" is a hit song from Céline Dion's English debut album called Unison. It was released as the first single in Canada on October 6, 1990 and United States on November 19, 1990, and in other parts of the world in 1991.[1]

"Where Does My Heart Beat Now" was written by Robert White Johnson and Taylor Rhodes in 1988 and recorded by Céline Dion one year later. It was produced by Christopher Neil.

Dion premiered this song at the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she performed it live, along with her 1988 winning track "Ne partez pas sans moi."

Three versions of the music video exists: black-and-white version for the Canadian market (1990), color performance version for the U.S. promotion (November 1990) directed by David Phillips and black-and-white version mixed with performance version made for the Unison home video (1991).

"Where Does My Heart Beat Now" was the most successful single from Unison album and became Dion's first English-language hit. In 2008, it was included on the North American version of My Love: Essential Collection greatest hits.

The song reached number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay and number 9 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales) and did even better on Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks peaking at number 2. "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" reached also top 10 in Norway and Canada, peaking at numbers 4 and 6 respectively. According to Nielsen SoundScan it has sold 240,000 copies in the U.S. However, this number does not include the first 4 months of single sales, as Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales data in March 1991.

After being released in the United Kingdom in March 1991, the song peaked at number 81. However, the single was re-released in March 1993, reaching number 72.
