Background and critical reception

In this album, when she was only 19, she began to disassociate herself from his father, the composer Georges Lunghini. Understanding her phobias, he wrote songs including "Bouscule-moi" or "Tout l'temps, tout l'temps." There are also four songs written by Jean-Loup Dabadie.

This album met with less success than previous ones, although it was certified Gold,[3] and marked the singer's change of look : indeed, she appeared more adult with a very short cut.

The singles from this album were less successful than the previous one : "Bouscule-moi" was the only one that reached the French Singles Chart, but it failed to enter the top ten (#14).
