[edit] Song information

It was released as a radio single in October 1991 in Canada only. "Des Mots Qui Sonnent" was the first single from Dion Chante Plamondon in that country. It was later included on Céline's Canadian maxi-single "Beauty and the Beast."

Céline interprets words of Luc Plamondon, pop lyricist of French-speaking Canada. The music was written by Aldo Nova who already collaborated with Dion on her 1987 Incognito album.
