"Mon ami m'a quittée" was later issued as a single in France to support Dion's first album released there, Du soleil au cœur. A music video was produced in 1984 for the Sur les chemins de ma maison television special. Dion also recorded a German-language version titled "Mon ami, geh nicht fort".

The song was issued again in the Netherlands in 1997 by BR Music to promote the compilation C'est pour toi. In 2005 it was included on Dion's official French compilation album On ne change pas.
