"Flying on My Own" is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion, recorded for her twelfth English-language studio album, Courage (2019). It is an EDM and dance-pop track incorporating elements of pop, adult contemporary, and electronic music. The song was written by Jörgen Elofsson, Liz Rodrigues, and Anton "Hybrid" Mårtensson, and produced by Elofsson, Hybrid, and Ugly Babies. A live version, recorded during Dion's Las Vegas residency, was released digitally on 9 June 2019, one day after the conclusion of her 16-year residency, Celine. The studio version followed on 28 June 2019 as a promotional single from Courage, issued by Columbia Records. The track received positive critical notices and reached number one in Quebec, the top ten on digital charts in Canada and France, and number seven on the US Dance Club Songs chart.

Background and release

On 19 December 2017, Dion posted a photo from the Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas with Swedish songwriter and producer Jörgen Elofsson, writing that they were "making beautiful music".[3] Elofsson has written for artists including Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears, and Westlife. On 7 June 2019, Dion premiered "Flying on My Own" during her residency show, Celine.[4][5][6] Before performing it, she told the audience she was "very nervous".[4][7]

The song was written by Elofsson, Rodrigues, and Mårtensson, and produced by Elofsson, Hybrid, and Ugly Babies.[8][9][10][11] The live performance was uploaded to Dion's YouTube channel on 8 June 2019.[12] Dion ended her residency at Caesars Palace on the same weekend.[13][14]

The live version was released digitally on 9 June 2019.[15] The studio version and a Dave Audé remix followed on 28 June 2019, and the track later appeared on Courage.[16][4][17] Columbia Records described the release as a gift to fans rather than an official single.[18] The song was made available on major streaming platforms.[18] Dion performed it at BST Hyde Park on 5 July 2019.[19] On 12 August 2019, DJ Riddler premiered his official remix.[20]

Critical reception

"Flying on My Own" received positive reviews. Mike Wass of Idolator called it a soaring dance-pop anthem and a campy, upbeat track.[21] Hilary Hughes of Billboard described it as Dion's own Sin City nightclub anthem.[5][13] CBC Music praised the song's energy, noting that Dion "soars" as she embraces the "winds of change".[22]
