On ne change pas (lit.'We do not change') is the seventh home video by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released on 18 November 2005 by Columbia Records and Epic Records. The collection brings together nearly two decades of Dion's French‑language music videos, many of which were issued on DVD for the first time. Spanning recordings from 1986 to 2005, the release also includes more than an hour of previously unreleased bonus material. It followed the release of Dion's first comprehensive French‑language greatest hits album, also titled On ne change pas.

Content

The DVD compiles 17 music videos recorded over a 19‑year period, beginning with 1986's "Fais ce que tu voudras" and continuing through to 2005's "Je ne vous oublie pas".[1] The selection traces Dion's development as a French‑language artist and highlights her collaborations with various directors and songwriters across the late 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s.

In addition to the main program, the DVD includes more than an hour of supplementary material, such as live performances, behind‑the‑scenes footage from concerts and video shoots, and content documenting the creation of several of Dion's French‑language albums. It also includes the music videos for "Ma Nouvelle-France", "Valse adieu", and an alternate version of "Je sais pas".[1]

Commercial performance

On ne change pas debuted at number five on the French Music DVD chart and remained on the listing for 30 weeks.[2] It was later certified triple platinum in France for sales exceeding 60,000 copies.[3] Internationally, the video also reached number 11 on the Italian Music DVD chart.[4]
