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. On September 12, 2007, Columbia Records informed in a press release that "Taking Chances" was written by Kara DioGuardi and the Eurythmics' David A. 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.
