AboutSong Bio4 contributors

“It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” originally written by Jim Steinman, was first recorded in 1989 by girl group Pandora’s Box, who featured it on Original Sin, their first and only album. In an interview, Steinman explains that he was attempting to write “the most passionate, romantic song [he] could ever write.” On the song’s meaning, he says:

It was about the dark side of love and about the extraordinary ability to be resurrected by it once dead. It’s about obsession, and that can be scary because you’re not in control and you don’t know where it’s going to stop. It says that, at any point in somebody’s life, when they loved somebody strongly enough and that person returns, a certain touch, a certain physical gesture can turn them from being defiant and disgusted with this person to being subservient again.

“It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” was popularized by Céline Dion in 1996; it made the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart in August of that year, peaking at #2 on October 26.
