After the success of her number one debut single "Ouragan" in the second quarter of 1986, Stéphanie decided to continue her musical career releasing an album, Besoin, which met with success on the French Albums Chart, as it reached number six and was certified gold disc.

The song was also recorded in English-language to be released, about two months after the original version, in the non-French speaking countries, being re-entitled "One Love to Give", with new lyrics written by Carol Welsman.

[3] The music video begins displaying the sentence "Les fantômes existent encore, Stéphanie n'y croyait pas, et pourtant..." Stéphanie appears with an androgynous look, performing the song in a castle, along with her friend and singer Gérard Blanc (who had success in 1987 with "Une autre histoire"), who plays the guitar in the video.

Kamil Rustam, who won the 1985 Victoire de la musique for best arrangement, can also be seen playing the guitar and, in another scene, kissing Stephanie's hand.
