In the 12^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz (2026), we break down “Think Twice” performed by Céline Dion.

The key lyrics: “think twice.” Céline Dion (b. 1968) is one of the greatest singers to ever do it.  She flexes, like the boss that she is, on the timeless ballad, “Think Twice”. “Twice” is the third track from her 1993 studio album, The Colour of My Love.  An original song, Andy Hill and Peter Sinfield wrote “Think Twice” while Aldo Nova and Christopher Neil produced it. Sadly, this tremendous ballad only modestly impacted the pop charts.  It peaked at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100.  “Think Twice,” you deserved much better!

“Think Twice” commences with an exquisite, celestial soundscape accompanying Céline Dion.  Fueled by the refined fire, she delivers gorgeous, glorious, and nuanced vocals.  Throughout “Think Twice,” the melodies are tuneful, while the lyrics are incredibly memorable.  “Don’t think I can’t feel that there’s something wrong / You’ve been the sweetest part of my life for so long,” Céline sings in the first verse, and continues, “I look in your eyes, there’s a distant light / And you and I know there’ll be a storm tonight.” There is a pre-chorus that follows each verse, and reappears as a bridge that leads into the chorus.  In the first iteration, Dion sings, “This is getting serious / Are you thinking ‘bout you or us?” The chorus is the crème de la crème – the centerpiece:

“Don’t say what you’re about to say

Look back before you leave my life

Be sure before you close that door

Before you roll those dice

Baby, think twice.”

Beyond Dion’s lead vocals, the background vocals are delightful. The second verse (excerpted earlier) has more punch – harder drums, riper guitars, and more potent, powerful vocals by Dion. The contrast keeps this ballad incredibly engaging. I love the addition of background vocals during the pre-chorus, adding more bite. The second iteration of the chorus also expands beyond the first, propelling “Think Twice” forward.  A mean guitar solo follows the second chorus.  The bridge,  post-guitar solo, is powerful, high-flying, and showcases the sheer talent of Dion. Her ad-libs are otherworldly and pitch-perfect! The outgoing choruses are the biggest yet, including a break in the accompaniment that is timely. Those background vocals up the ante, eating just like Dion. All in all, “Think Twice” is a magnificent song. The songwriting and production are top-notch, while Céline Dion gives a masterclass in vocal performance.
