Background and release


"Courage" was written by Stephan Moccio, Erik Alcock and Liz Rodrigues. It was produced by Moccio, who previously co-wrote Dion's 2002 single, "A New Day Has Come". "Courage" is an emotional piano ballad, dealing with the loss of a loved one. Together with "Imperfections" and "Lying Down", the song was released as a digital download on 18 September 2019, the day Dion started her Courage World Tour, promoting the Courage album.




Critical reception


The song received positive critical reviews. According to A Bit of Pop Music, "Courage" has a very personal content. It is a piano and strings based emotional power ballad, dealing with the loss of a person close to you. With the death of her husband René Angélil in 2016, "Courage" must be close to Dion's heart and she sings it with emotive vocals and a lot of passion. Mike Wass from Idolator described "Courage" as a simple piano ballad that lets Dion pull the vocal trigger as she shares important life lessons. It is raw and very emotional.
