While Dion didnt elaborate on the offending songs and a visit to Spotify and Apple Music didnt immediately reveal any culprits its likely the singer is alluding to an AI-generated cover of the gospel song called Heal Me Lord that was uploaded to YouTube in recent months and then recirculated across various accounts; one of the videos, credited to Celine Dion, has over 1 million views.
