Will Jennings was secretly brought on board to write the lyrics, and it was done like that because of Cameron’s own ideas. Music supervisor Randy Gerston told Billboard that they had done a record deal with Sony to do the soundtrack, which would have been just Horner’s score, but the label had a different idea in mind, as they imagined they would get an end-title song into the film. The original plan for the soundtrack was for it to be purely instrumental, but the label had other ideas. It was written by Will Jennings with music by James Horner, and it was originally composed as an instrumental motif for various scenes in the film. The music of Titanic is mostly orchestral, with “My Heart Will Go On” being the only song with singing in the soundtrack. Titanic: The True Story Behind “My Heart Will Go On” The latter was a huge hit, even becoming Celine Dion’s signature song, but had Cameron had it his way, the song would have never been included in the film. Titanic received multiple nominations to many awards, including 14 Academy Awards nominations, of which it won 11, among those Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Song. Related: Titanic: The Actors Who Almost Played Jack & Rose Titanic was the most expensive film ever made at the time, with a production budget of $200 million, and became the highest-grossing film ever until Cameron’s Avatar (which was later surpassed by Avengers: Endgame). The film followed Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) and Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage. Back in 1997, just three years after the release of True Lies, James Cameron returned with his biggest production at the time: Titanic, a romance and disaster film based on the accounts of the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. But even though the song became a worldwide hit, James Cameron wasn’t fully on board with it at the beginning – here’s what happened. I prefer The Beatles' "I Got a Feeling," that's for sure.Titanic has become a classic for its production, performances, and its song, “My Heart Will Go On”, performed by Céline Dion. As soon as I heard this for the first time, I *had a feeling *it was going to eventually drive me crazy by being overplayed.and it was. Sorry, Celine, for the double diss but between the Titanic song and this one that she did for Up Close & Personal at around the time, I'd had enough of the talented Canadian crooner._Ģ. But it got me thinking of other songs that have the same effect-and here's my short list:ġ. I'm with Kate-I roll my eyes when I hear "My Heart Will Go On"-but not because people ask me to sing it on television, obviously. It was like, 'No! I'm not going to do that.' They're like, 'Oh no, come on it will be funny.' No, it won't be funny. I was not even gently, rather severely, urged to go and sing it as though I had in fact sung it myself in the first place. I did a talk show recently in Italy and they actually had a live pianist who started gently playing the theme song. "It's thrilling for people to 'surprise' me with the Celine Dion song. The Academy Award-winner went on to explain that, throughout her career she's heard the song endlessly. I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll." I wish I could say, 'Oh listen, everybody! It's the Celine Dion song!' But I don't. No, actually, I do feel like throwing up. In honor of the movie's big anniversary, it's being re-released in 3-D and Kate Winslet-who was charming and so just beautiful as Rose-has been promoting the flick and was asked her reaction is to hearing the *Titanic *theme song, "My Heart Will Go On": "Like throwing up," she told MTV News.
