"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). It was written by Jean-Jacques Goldman and produced by Goldman and Erick Benzi. A live performance video was released in August 1999 to promote the album 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 another album.[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", written by Goldman. In late August 1999, a live video of Dion performing the song was released to promote Au cœur du stade and the home video of the same name.[3] Dion performed "Dans un autre monde" frequently in concerts between 1999 and 2020. In 2005, it was included on her greatest hits album On ne change pas.[4]

Commercial performance

Although "Dans un autre monde" was not released as a single, it debuted on the ADISQ Radio chart in Quebec on 30 January 1999, peaking at number 49.[5] In Wallonia (Belgium), the song entered the Ultratop Airplay chart after the release of Au cœur du stade.[6] It reached number seven on 26 October 1999 and stayed 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] It re-entered the chart 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]
