On August 24, 2007, Dion's official website announced that the singer will release her new English-language album Taking Chances on November 12, 2007 in Europe and November 13, 2007 in North America. The album was also scheduled for release in Japan on November 7, 2007 and in Australia and New Zealand on November 10, 2007. Dion said about Taking Chances: "I think it represents a positive evolution in my career. I'm feeling strong, maybe a little gutsier than in the past, and just as passionate about music and life as I ever was." On September 2, 2007, album's cover became available for TeamCeline members. However, six days later, Columbia Records has made small changes to the Taking Chances cover. The first single form the album, "Taking Chances" was sent to radio stations on September 10, 2007 and the video of Dion recording the song in the studio was posted on Amazon.com.

Stewart, and produced by the Grammy Award–winner John Shanks, and that the album will be followed by the Taking Chances Tour in 2008 and 2009. The music video for the first single was filmed on September 17, 2007 in several different locations in the Las Vegas area and directed by Paul Boyd. The video became available for TeamCeline members on October 16, 2007 and later premiered on television.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
