Wings is the fifteenth studio album by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It was released in Europe on 14 May 2005 by Stick Music, and on 12 June 2006 in the UK under the title Celebrate. The album spawned two singles, "Louise" and "Celebrate". The majority of newly written tracks were composed by Tyler and French songwriters Paul D. Fitzgerald and Karen Drotar, and produced by Jean Lahcene (under the pseudonym of John Stage). Tyler also recorded new versions of her international hits "It's a Heartache" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
Reviews of the album were mixed, with music critics arguing that Tyler's best work comes through her pairing with Jim Steinman. The album only charted in France in 2005, peaking at number 133.
In January 2004, Tyler was number one in France with her bilingual song "Si demain... (Turn Around)", which boosted sales of her then-current studio album Simply Believe. Still working in France, Tyler went on to collaborate with French producer Jean Lahcene to put together another album.Wings was released on 14 May 2005, and would be her last album for eight years before the release of Rocks and Honey. Tyler co-wrote nine of the tracks for Wings; this was the first time in Tyler's career that she had been directly involved in the composition of her songs. The album was recorded at the Pasteur Studio in Paris, France, and "All I Need Is Love" and "I'll Stand By You" were recorded at Stuart Emerson's studio in the UK.Wings features two tracks written by Stuart Emerson, one of which was a duet with his partner and Tyler's friend, Lorraine Crosby. Emerson also contributed to Tyler's 1995 album Free Spirit and 2004 album Simply Believe. Two of the tracks, "Louise" and "Celebrate" are also featured on the album in French.
Wings was released in the United Kingdom under the title Celebrate in 2006. The UK version omitted the French versions of the two singles.
