"Immortality" is a single from Celine Dion's album Let's Talk About Love. It was released on 8 June 1998 outside the United States. The Bee Gees can be heard on the background vocals, and are credited as special guests on/for the recording.[1] It was used as a theme song for the Brazilian telenovela "Torre de Babel". For that occasion a promo CD Single with various remixes was released in Brazil only.

"Immortality" was composed especially for Dion by brothers Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb, the members of the Bee Gees, and was produced by Walter Afanasieff. A demo version of the song featuring just the brothers can be found on subsequent greatest hits albums of the Bee Gees.

There are two music videos. The first one, directed by Scott Floyd Lochmus, shows Dion and the Bee Gees in the recording studio in 1997. It was included as a bonus on the Au cur du stade DVD. The second one was directed by Randee St. Nicholas and released at the end of July 1998. This more elaborate video deals with themes of love, loss and reincarnation, with a cameo from the Bee Gees themselves.

The song was a commercial success reaching number 2 in Austria and Germany, number 4 in Europe, number 5 in the United Kingdom, and number 8 in Switzerland. In Brazil, the Cuca mixes became very popular. However, the track was never released as a single in the United States, where Sony Music Entertainment instead decided to release "To Love You More."

"Immortality" was certified platinum in Germany (for over 500,000 copies sold), gold in Sweden (15,000),[2] and silver in France (145,000)[3] and the UK (200,000).

The live version of this song was included on the One Night Only CD and DVD by the Bee Gees, released on 3 November 1998. Dion also performed this song during her Let's Talk About Love Tour. The song was performed also on British TV programme Top of the Pops in July 1998. For the first time in 16 years, Dion performed the song in her residency show Celine at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. The song was introduced on 27 August 2015 as a duet version with a hologram version of Dion on stage and Dion going through the audience. Later on, the virtual duet was cut and she sang the whole song while walking down the aisle. From Spring 2016, Dion started singing the song standing on stage. According to fan posts on some message boards of the singer, she stopped going down the aisle due to audience members pushing, fighting, and racing up towards the aisle trying to get photographs with her. The song was totally cut on 24 May 2017.

"Immortality" became a part of non-American versions of Dion's later greatest hits: All the Way A Decade of Song and My Love: Essential Collection.

In 2001, Donny Osmond covered "Immortality" for his 2001 album This Is the Moment. For the 2001 album Their Greatest Hits: The Record, The Bee Gees re-recorded the song without Dion's vocals, instead having Barry Gibb as the lead singer and Maurice and Robin on back-up vocals.
