It was produced by Yann Peifer and Manuel Reuter, who also co-wrote the song with Allan Eshuijs, for the band's fourth studio album Original Me (2011).

Musically, the song is a fast-paced electropop that features the use of Auto-Tune and bass instruments, and the lyrics are about being unimpressed with a man that presents himself as bigger than life.

The sound of the song was compared to the work of American dance pop recording artist Britney Spears.

[1] It has similarities in sound mainly with “If U Seek Amy”, an electropop song from Spears's 2008 album Circus famous for its double entendre and its homophonic name.

“Au revoir” features the influence of glam schlager and the use of synthesizers, bass drums and a heavy bassline.
