Celine Dion, with Pink's help, 'Recovering' on new song: Listen

Updated

Celine Dion released a new song, called "Recovering," on Thursday, in honor of her late husband Rene Angelil, who died in January after battling throat cancer.

In the song, written by Pink, Dion describes getting back on her feet: "Little by little, day by day/ One step at a time/ Shake off the devil/ Take back my piece of mind/ I am recovering."

Dion previously said of the song: "Life is beautiful, and I really want to believe that Rene has a life after his life, that he doesn't suffer anymore."

The song will be on her upcoming English-language album, her first since 2013's Loved Me Back to Life, which featured collaborations with Ne-Yo and Sia.

Dion will perform on Friday's Stand Up to Cancer live TV event and on Monday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Pink told EW of Dion: "She is like a magic light bulb, walking around emanating light into the world. ... I wanted to hear Celine's soul. She is just simply amazing, and getting to write a song for her is one of the biggest honors of my life."
