It was certified gold by the SNEP in March 2008, denoting shipments in excess of 80,000 copies in France.

After a four-year hiatus and a time out of the media limelight, Alizée returned in December 2007 with Psychédélices, the first one to be made without the creative supervision of her former mentor, Mylène Farmer.

The album, which features 11 tracks,[2] was made available for digital downloads 26 November 2007,[3] with a full release on 3 December 2007[4][5] on the RCA label.

[6] The album includes collaborations with Bertrand Burgalat, Daniel Darc, Oxmo Puccino, Jérémy Chatelain,[7] Michel-Yves Kochmann, and Jean Fauque.

[4][5] To promote the single, Alizée appeared on the French radio station, NRJ, on 27 September 2007.

The lyrics to "Fifty-Sixty" tell, in personal and metaphorical manner, of a young model under the guidance of Andy Warhol, possibly inspired by the real-life story of Edie Sedgwick.

[17] Coinciding with the new album, a new official website was created,[18] which, despite being announced on 11 September 2007, was kept under wraps until 28 November 2007.

[1] A music video for the song directed by Julien Rotterman was released in November of that same year, and proved to be successful in Mexico.

Psychédélices was generally well received, and the reviews generated talk of Alizée's independent career after three and half years of musical inactivity and after leaving her former mentors Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, while being a mother at the same time.

On 25 June 2008, Psychédélices CD+DVD Edition was released including bonus tracks, a DVD and new artwork.
