Taking Chances (song)

"Taking Chances" is a song recorded by Canadian recording artist Celine Dion, taken from her ninth English studio album of the same name (2007). It was written by songwriter Kara DioGuardi and former Eurythmics member Dave Stewart for their band named Platinum Weird. It was supposed to be released as a single in February 2007 for their unreleased self-titled album. However, after DioGuardi and Stewart recorded the song, they played it for Dion's husband René Angélil, who loved it and Dion recorded it.
It was released as the first single from ''Taking Chances'' in September 2007. "Taking Chances" is a pop rock ballad, which begins with Dion crooning softly over a near-acoustic musical backdrop, before the soft rock bombast kicks in. Lyrically, it is about trusting and baring our souls to each other and committing to making something special. The line, "So talk to me, like lovers do" came from the Eurythmics song "Here Comes the Rain Again." The song received positive reviews from music critics, who praised Dion for taking risks and called it a hopeful and heartfelt song.
The song was a success around the world, peaking inside the top ten in Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy and Switzerland. It also peaked at number 40 on the UK Singles Chart, while on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, it reached number 54. It also topped the Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song was nominated for the Single of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2009. "Taking Chances" was covered on Fox's hit TV show ''Glee'' by Lea Michele's character Rachel Berry. Her version peaked at number 71 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart.
== Background and writing ==
"Taking Chances" was written by songwriter Kara DioGuardi and former Eurythmic Dave Stewart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/taking-chances-mt0004118473 )〕 The record label manager Jimmy Iovine put them together to write for the Pussycat Dolls, but DioGuardi and Stewart quickly realized that the music they were writing was best suited for them to record together. Iovine agreed and signed them to Interscope Records where they recorded an album as Platinum Weird, but the album was never released.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=9228 )〕 In The Dave Stewart Songbook Vol. 1, Stewart explains that he and DioGuardi wrote the song in about 10 minutes one afternoon when movers were bringing furniture into her new Los Angeles home.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0615235689/songfactsco09-20 )

"I could hear some windchimes just outside the open window where I was laying, so I picked up an acoustic guitar and was trying to play the same random pattern the chimes were making. Kara is a genius with melody and multitasking so as she's shouting to the movers she starts singing, 'Don't know much about your life,' much to the confusion of the workers. It was like a scene from a musical as the furniture was piling in, she was singing, 'What do you say to taking chances? What do you you say to jumping off the edge?' We literally were swapping lyrics, melodies and chords in real time while all this chaos was around us. The song was written about ourselves trusting and baring our souls to each other. About committing to making something special even though we knew we were this odd couple who had no other reason to do it other than we loved it."〔〔

After DioGuardi and Stewart recorded the song, they played it for Dion's husband René, who loved it.〔 Dion released it as the title track and first single from her ninth English studio album, which was also the name of her World Tour. John Shanks produced the song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-shanks-mn0000233966# )〕 He also produced five other songs on ''Taking Chances''.〔 Kara DioGuardi also wrote and co-produced with Emanuel Kiriakou "Surprise Surprise" for the ''Taking Chances'' album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/kara-dioguardi-mn0000362583/credits )〕 She has already written few songs for Dion in the past, including "One Heart." The latter was co-written and co-produced by John Shanks and Kara DioGuardi, and released as a single in 2003.〔
On September 9, 2007, the members of her fan club had a 24-hour advance preview of "Taking Chances" and its accompanying in-studio video. Later, the video was available through Amazon.com and Sympatico / MSN Music Store the following day. The song premiered on the radio on September 10, 2007〔 and was released as a music download on October 29, 2007 in the United States and Europe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】)">url=http://www.amazon.com/Taking-Chances-CD-Single-Celine-Dion/dp/B000W3532A/ref=sr_1_17?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1347721990&sr=1-17&keywords=taking+chances+celine+dion )〕 The track was included later on her 2008 greatest hits ''My Love: Essential Collection''. A live version was included in the ''Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert'' CD/DVD.
