Background and release
The first nine songs are new compositions. The other eleven songs were written years before. Goldman always wrote one or two songs for each album that either didn't fit the mood of the record or that were too personal. When he started becoming popular, he thought it would be a good opportunity to release some previously unheard songs.
While preparing this album, the new songs were tracked in the studio. The old songs were either recorded live or were recorded using only acoustic instruments.
For the album's first CD release, two songs were omitted ("Tout Petit Monde" and "Il Me Restera") due to time limitations on a compact disc. The 2000 version contained the original LP track listing, this time spread out on two CDs. The first CD contains "new" songs, while the second disc contains eleven previously unreleased songs.
Commercial success
The album entered the French SNEP Albums Chart atop and stayed here for 18 consecutive weeks and 78 in the top 50. It was certified diamond for sales of 1,000,000 copies.
