Background
On 14 June 1986, the ballad entered the Quebec Singles Chart, where it peaked at number 36 and remained for 12 weeks.
The B-side includes "Tu es là", taken from the album C'est pour toi.
Dion filmed her first French-language music video for the single in 1986. Directed by François Girard, it shows Dion at a train station. The video is available on the DVD On ne change pas (2005). It was her second music video, following the English-language "Listen to the Magic Man".
The title refers to a proverb coined by French Renaissance writer François Rabelais, later adopted as a central maxim of the modern thelemic movement in the English rendering by Aleister Crowley: "Do what thou wilt".
