Background
On 23 September 2014, in an interview with Melty, Orelsan attempted to explain the success of his and Gringe's debut studio album as a duo, Orelsan et Gringe sont les Casseurs Flowters, stating: "It's an album that kind of talks about everyday life, and which speaks to regular people in our age group." When asked about the possibility of a third solo studio album (following Le chant des sirènes from 2011), he admitted that it was something that he had "not started doing", though he promised to "get on it quickly".[6]
On 21 March 2015, Orelsan posted a photo of a script with the working title Orel et Gringe (Orel and Gringe) on his Instagram page.[7] He followed up with another post on 4 May, this time of himself with Gringe in the film, confirming that shooting for the film was complete and that its title would be Comment c'est loin.[8]
