It was announced by Kate Ryan in early 2009 that her new single would be a French track and a cover. Later on, at the end of May, the single cover was released and it was confirmed that it would be another France Gall cover. Ryan performed and presented the single for the first time in her gig at G-A-Y in London, United Kingdom. Later, a preview of the official video was onlineone week before the Belgian release of the single. The song debuted first in Sweden at No. 27, debuting one week after in Belgium at No. 22. The song was already released in Poland and the Czech Republic and a German release was set for 30 October 2009.

In 2009, the song was covered by Lara Fabian on her eighth studio album Toutes les femmes en moi, as 14th track.
