Background
For this third album, Ségara was surrendered by several songwriters and composers that had already worked for her on the two previous studio albums, such as the Nacash brothers and Christian Loigerot. Gioacchino Maurici, French singer Calogero's brother, participated in the music of "Regarde", Patrick Juvet composed that of "Je rêve", while Pierre Souchon, son of Alain Souchon, made that of "On ne dit pas". The song "Je n'oublie que toi" was entirely composed by famous French singer and songwriter Maxime Le Forestier.
Four of the five singles from this album were released as CD singles. "L'Amour est un soleil" (number two) and the duet with Laura Pausini "On n'oublie jamais rien, on vit avec" (number three) were certified Gold disc, while "Encore une fois" (number 32) and "On ne dit pas" (number 26) were less successful.
