"Je danse dans ma tête" (meaning "I dance inside my head") is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion from her tenth studio album, Dion chante Plamondon (1991). It was written by French-Canadian lyricist Luc Plamondon and Italian composer Romano Musumarra, and produced by Musumarra. In March 1992, "Je danse dans ma tête" was released as the third promotional single in Quebec and the lead commercial single in France. It reached number three on the airplay chart in Quebec. The music video, directed by Alain DesRochers, won the Much Music Video Award for Best Adult Contemporary Video in 1992.
Background and release
"Je danse dans ma tête" was written by French-Canadian lyricist Luc Plamondon and Italian composer Romano Musumarra, and produced by Musumarra.[1] It was one of four new songs written for the album Dion chante Plamondon, which was released in Canada in November 1991.[1] In March 1992, "Je danse dans ma tête" was issued as the third promotional single in Quebec, after "Des mots qui sonnent" and "L'amour existe encore". The same month, "Je danse dans ma tête" was released commercially as the lead single in France, where the album was renamed Des mots qui sonnent and issued in May 1992.[2][3] The commercial single included other songs from the album, "Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy)" and "Les uns contre les autres", and the promotional single featured two remixes created by Mark Frank and Musumarra.[4] On 18 May 1992, Dion performed "Je danse dans ma tête" during TV show Stars 90 in France. In 2005, it was included on her greatest hits album, On ne change pas.[5]
Critical reception
According to Music & Media magazine, Dion took an unexpected turn towards dance in "Je danse dans ma tête", but she sounds confident in her new role.[2] They wrote that the chorus with the word "danse" sung in a deliberate stuttering voice is one of the funniest gimmicks of late.[2]
Commercial performance
"Je danse dans ma tête" entered the airplay chart in Quebec on 23 March 1992 and peaked at number three.[6] It stayed on the chart for fourteen weeks.[7]
Music video
The music video was directed by Alain DesRochers and released in March 1992.[8] It won the Much Music Video Award for Best Adult Contemporary Video in September 1992.[9] In 2005, it was included on Dion's greatest hits DVD collection, On ne change pas.
