"Dans un autre monde" (lit. 'In another world') is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion from her sixteenth studio album, S'il suffisait d'aimer (1998). Written by Jean-Jacques Goldman and produced by Goldman and Erick Benzi, it later appeared in a live performance video released in August 1999 to promote Au cœur du stade.

Background and release

After D'eux became the best-selling French-language album of all time, Dion reunited with Jean-Jacques Goldman to record a follow-up project.[1] S'il suffisait d'aimer was recorded between September 1997 and July 1998 and produced by Goldman and Erick Benzi.[2] The album includes "Dans un autre monde", one of several songs written by Goldman for the project. In late August 1999, a live video of Dion performing the track was issued to promote Au cœur du stade and the accompanying home video release.[3] Dion performed the song regularly in concerts between 1999 and 2020, and it was later included on her 2005 greatest hits album On ne change pas.[4]

Commercial performance

Although not released as a single, "Dans un autre monde" debuted on the ADISQ Radio chart in Quebec on 30 January 1999, peaking at number 49.[5] In Belgium's Wallonia, the song entered the Ultratop Airplay chart following the release of Au cœur du stade.[6] It reached number seven on 26 October 1999 and remained inside the top 50 for seven weeks.[6] In October 2019, "Dans un autre monde" entered the French Sales chart at number 117 due to digital downloads,[7] and re-entered in April 2020, peaking at number 102.[8]

Music video

The live music video was filmed at the Stade de France in Paris during two sold-out shows of the Let's Talk About Love World Tour on 19 and 20 June 1999.[9] Directed by Gérard Pullicino, it was released in late August 1999 to promote the Au cœur du stade CD and the DVD of the same name.[10] Across the two concerts, Dion performed for more than 180,000 spectators, becoming the first artist to play to over 90,000 attendees per night at the venue.[11]
