Background and critical reception

After the success of her first two singles, "T'en va pas", which peaked at #1 for eight weeks on the official singles chart (Top 50), and "Quelque chose dans mon cœur", #2 hit, Elsa decided to release her first album. In it, there are collaborations with Didier Barbelivien, Élisabeth Anaïs for texts, and her father (Georges Lunghini) for compositions. Georges also co-signed ten of the eleven songs on the album.

In the French TV program Sacrée Soirée compered by Jean-Pierre Foucault, Elsa met Glenn Medeiros, which generated the duet "Un Roman d'amitié (Friend Give Me a Reason)". It was the next single from the album. Once again, it was a success, reaching #1 on the Top 50 for six weeks during 1988 summer. Thereafter, Elsa also released three other singles on this album, which were all ranked in the top ten on the singles chart.

This debut album was very successful. In addition to the huge sales of the singles, it was certified double platinum by the SNEP, the French certifier, for more than 600,000 sales in France.

Elsa's first single, "T'en va pas", was not included in this album. The song "Nostalgia cinema" is a reference to the Italian origins of her father.
