Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Celine Dion presenta con este álbum de 2007 un sorprendente y enérgico giro hacia el pop-rock. En 'Taking Chances' ("Arriesgándose") Celine Dion decide alejarse de la balada adulto-contemporánea para explorar un sonido más potente y guitarrero. El disco es uno de sus trabajos más roqueros y directos, una demostración de su versatilidad y de su deseo de experimentar.
Para ello, la artista colabora con un equipo de productores y compositores provenientes del mundo del rock, como el ex-miembro de Eurythmics, Dave Stewart, o el compositor de rock John Shanks. En consecuencia, la producción está dominada por las guitarras eléctricas, las baterías contundentes y una actitud más desafiante.
La canción que da título al disco, por ejemplo, es un tema de pop-rock con una energía arrolladora que se convirtió en el himno de su gira mundial. El álbum incluye temas que muestran una faceta de Celine Dion que pocos conocían, una rockera con una potencia y una garra impresionantes.
'Taking Chances' fue un cambio audaz que fue muy bien recibido por la crítica, que aplaudió su capacidad para reinventarse. Es un trabajo vibrante y lleno de fuerza que demostró que, incluso después de décadas de carrera, Celine Dion todavía era capaz de sorprender y de arriesgar.

I hear the ticking of the clock I'm lying here the room's pitch dark I wonder where you are tonight No answer on the telephone And the night goes by so very slow Oh I hope that it won't end though Alone Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone You don't know how long I have wanted To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh You don't know how long I have waited And I was going to tell you tonight But the secret is still my own And my love for you is still unknown Alone Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone Alone... Alone... - Eyes on Me
Letra
I know that once in love You don't think of the devil who's inside And maybe it will come one day When you'll feel safe and I won't have the time You hear what you wanna hear Play it once I could disappear Some rules to the game of me Get it right for both of us Just say what you wanna say I've got it to give away We both want to make it last So keep your eyes on me Your eyes on me It's not an illusion That you're the one And I have fallen deep I said it from the start When we're apart You must only think of me Temptation is all around Take good care of what you found That's why when I turn around You better keep You better keep your eyes on me No matter what you think I need No matter what you once believed If you're mine So you better say No matter what you think of me No it doesn't really matter what you once believed I wanna be the air you breathe Yeah you better be everything you said you'd be I'm gonna be your only one We really can't go on No matter what you think of me You better keep your eyes on me You say that you want me Open up your heart Even if it's hard Say that you need me Then let him know Baby don't put on a show You say that you need me Tell him how you feel Let him know it's real And if you love me Never turn your back Gonna keep my eyes on there Temptation is all around Take good care of what you found That's why when I turn around You better keep You better keep your eyes on me No matter what you think I need No matter what you once believed If you're mine So you better say No matter what you think of me No it doesn't really matter what you once believed I wanna be the air you breathe Yeah you better be everything you said you'd be I'm gonna be your only one We really can't go on No matter what you think of me You better keep your eyes on me Your eyes on me Your eyes on me - My Love

Letra
I couldn't live I couldn't live without your love For one kiss Well I'd give everything up There's no words I can describe What I feel deep inside So I let this song say it all Then I hope you'll understand Once you've listened till the end Heard the music in my head So before I could forget I start singing Yeah I was singing This song For you Just made up the words La la la ohhh ohhh yeah My heart with a melody So I am singing This song For you - A World to Believe In
Letra
I've seen the tears and the heartache, and I felt the pain I've seen the hatred in so many lives, and lost in vain And yet through this darkness there's always a light that shines through And takes me back home Takes me back home All of the promises broken And all of the songs left unsung Seems so far away as I make my way back to you [Chorus:] You gave me faith and you gave me a world to believe in You gave me your love to believe in And feeling this love I can rise up above And be strong and be whole once again I know that dreams we hold on to, can just fade away And I know that words can be wasted, with so much to say And when I feel helpless there's always a hope that shines through And makes me believe Makes me believe And I see for one fleeting moment A paradise under the sun I drift away and I make my way back to you [Chorus:] [Bridge:] Life goes on Can leave all sweet sorrow and pain And life, hold on To all that you are To all that we'll be And I can go on once again [Chorus: x2] Because your love hears my soul once again I can live and I can dream once again Because you made me believe - Can´t Fight the Feelin´

Letra
I learned from the past Not everything lasts I understand that now Everything changed When you walked away But I'll survive somehow Though I have regrets I'll learn to forget And just keep moving on Cause when love is gone You have to be strong Once touched by pain You're not the same But time can heal Your heart again So let the clouds That bring you down Just fade away Away So I try to smile But after a while The memories come back But I won't give in Cause I know that then My heart will fade to black And this time I learned That love can burn It's an all consuming flame There's no right or wrong I've got to be strong Once touched by pain You're not the same But time can heal Your heart again So let the clouds That bring you down Just fade away I know that one day I'll find that feeling again But until I do I'll do it fine by myself Once touched by pain You're not the same But time can heal Your heart again So let the clouds That bring you down You know that Once touched by pain You're not the same But time can heal Your heart again So let the clouds That bring you down So let the clouds That bring you down Just fade away Away - That´s Just the Woman in Me
