Produced by Spanish producer-DJ duo Cookin' Soul, it was released on 22 June 2012 as the sixth and final single from Orelsan's second studio album Le chant des sirènes.
Orelsan, being passionate about Japanese culture, drew inspiration from the manga series Knights of the Zodiac for the special effects and the costumes.
For the scenery, Tomaszewski chose to spend two days at Nîmes at the arena, the Temple of Diane and the Maison Carrée, and one morning at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in Camargue for the ocean scenes.
In the early stages of the video, 7th Magnitude co-founder Ablaye makes an appearance as a cook in a shawarma restaurant, who is serving the two rappers.
Towards the end of the video, at the Parthenon, the two are seen looking up to the sky at a giant Sexion d'Assaut member Maître Gims, who looks down at and taunts them from the clouds, after which the two rappers perform a fusion technique, resulting in a transformation that includes Orelsan's hair, Gringe's beard, a combination of their two faces and a monkey's tail.
