The opening track and first single, "Les Nuits", is a revised version of Evelyn's tracks Nights Interlude and, subsequently, Nights Introlude, which were featured on the two previous albums respectively. The songs feature samples from the Quincy Jones version of the song Summer in the City. However, instead of using sampling and synthesized tracks like before, the song featured a full orchestral and live recording session, inspired by the samples, which was then mixed by Evelyn.
