[edit] Song information

"Ma Nouvelle France" was written by Céline's longtime collaborator Luc Plamondon and produced by Christopher Neil ("Think Twice," "Where Does My Heart Beat Now"). Patrick Doyle composed the music.

The historic drama Nouvelle-France takes place in the middle of the XVIIIth century, as France leaves Canada. The film was directed by Jean Beaudin and features Gérard Depardieu among others.

Contacted five moths earlier by the producer Richard Goudreau, Céline Dion's husband and manager René Angélil was impressed by the movie. Then he gave his green light so that the singer could perform the song entitled "Ma Nouvelle France."

Céline recorded this song on October 3, 2004 in Las Vegas. It was featured on the Nouvelle-France soundtrack (November 19, 2004) and Céline's later album On Ne Change Pas (October 3, 2005).

The music video, directed by Jean Beaudin, features dialouges from the film.

"Ma Nouvelle France" peaked at #7 on the Quebec Airplay chart.
