Written by Claudio Guidetti, Léa Ivanne, it was the lead single from his album Je te serai fidèle (2003), and was released first as CD maxi in February 2004,[1] then as CD single in July of the same year.

In 2005, Voisine performed the song on the show Star Academy 4 with contestant and future winner Grégory Lemarchal.

In February 2006, a version recorded with 500 choristers was released as B-side of Voisine's first single from his then new album Sauf si l'amour.... Later, the original version of the song was included on Voisine's best of Roch, released in May 2007, on which it appears as the 16th track.

In 2013, Voisine released an acoustic version of the song, a duet with Patricia Kaas and the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, which features on his album Duophonique.

About the album, Jonathan Hamard of Charts in France said that he was "less enthusiastic" when listening "Tant pis" although he noticed that the song is quite different since "new arrangements [...] convey a lot of emotions".
