<P> `` It 's All Coming Back to Me Now '' is a power ballad written by Jim Steinman . According to Steinman , the song was inspired by Wuthering Heights , and was an attempt to write `` the most passionate , romantic song '' he could ever create . The Sunday Times posits that `` Steinman protects his songs as if they were his children '' . Meat Loaf had wanted to record `` It 's All Coming Back ... '' for years , but Steinman saw it as a `` woman 's song . '' Steinman won a court movement preventing Meat Loaf from recording it . Girl group Pandora 's Box went on to record it and it was subsequently made famous through a cover by Celine Dion , which upset Meat Loaf because he was going to use it for a planned album with the working title Bat Out of Hell III . Alternately , Meat Loaf has said the song was intended for Bat Out of Hell II and given to the singer in 1986 , but that they both decided to use `` I 'd Do Anything for Love ( But I Wo n't Do That ) '' for Bat II , and save this song for Bat III . </P>
