Creative background
The lyrics were inspired by the love story of the centenarian in the movie when he was young. The Chinese version of the lyrics was translated by China contemporary fairy tale writer Wang Yuran and sung by Mao Ning. The Cantonese version of the song "Tie My Heartstrings" was sung by Sally Yeh, a Hong Kong female singer.
James Cameron, director of Titanic, invited james horner to compose the original soundtrack album of Titanic. They collaborated in Alien 2 as early as 1986, but their relationship deteriorated after that cooperation. Later, James Cameron appreciated james horner's composition work in Braveheart, and james horner also felt that Titanic had great commercial potential, which led them to cooperate again.
Because James Cameron doesn't allow any songs to appear in the film, james horner and Will Jenyus have to secretly compose this song and invite celine dion to record and sing it. Celine was persuaded by her husband and agreed to record a record sample for them. Horner bided his time to recommend this song to Cameron. After several broadcasts, Cameron announced that he agreed to choose My Heart Will Go On, and used it in the film's credits.
