Background
On 14 June 1986 this melancholic ballad entered the Quebec Singles Chart and peaked at number 36, spending twelve weeks on the chart.
The B-side included "Tu es là", which was taken from the album C'est pour toi.
Dion filmed her first real French-language music video for this single in 1986. It was directed by François Girard and featured Dion at a train station. This music video can be found on the DVD called On ne change pas (2005). It was Dion's second music video after her first English-language song "Listen to the Magic Man".
The title alludes to the proverb coined by French Renaissance writer François Rabelais, which has later become a main tenet of the modern-day thelemic occult movement in the English version by Aleister Crowley: "Do what thou wilt".
