The song was released in Canada as the lead single from the compilation album carrying the same name Je n'ai que mon âme.

The song was performed fourteenth on the night, following Spain's David Civera with "Dile que la quiero" and preceding Turkey's Sedat Yüce with "Sevgiliye son".

The song is a power ballad, with St-Pier attempting to resurrect what appears to be a doomed relationship, telling her lover that she still has feelings for him, even though neither of them have expressed them recently.

It was succeeded as French representative at the 2002 contest by Sandrine François with "Il faut du temps".

It was unable to dislodge MC Solaar's "Hasta la vista" which topped the chart then.
