"Bouge de là" was the album's first single, which was hugely successful in France and went on to kickstart Solaar's career there. The song is based on a sample of "The Message" by 1970s English band Cymande.

The title song "Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo" samples Lou Donaldson's "One Cylinder".

Other popular singles from the album are "Caroline" and "Victime de la mode".
