The song was produced and arranged by Grammy award winner and Golden Globe nominee Simon Franglen. The song was described as a "bombastic, heart-pounding" ballad, which has become a popular song choice for contestants on reality television singing competitions like American Idol. It uses a Neapolitan chord of Ab major before a suspended chord at the end of the verses. The chorus uses the common chord progression of vi–IV–I–V, with Dion's vocal range spanning from note D 3 to D 5. Having a tempo of 57 beats per minute with syncopation, the song is written in the key of G minor and it would feature piano, string ensemble, drums and a synthesizer.
