The album contains a French-language version of Dalida's big Arab hit "]". The French version is dedicated to the late Egyptian President ] who was assassinated in 1981. Dalida went on to record a Spanish version of that same song called "Io T'amero (Tres Palabras)", with different lyrics.
Among other songs, the album contains a disco dance version of Dalida's 1959 hit "Le jour où la pluie viendra" composed by ].

"Quand je n'aime plus je m'en vais" became a minor hit{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} due to extensive promotion on French and German television as was "Nostalgie"{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} which is a cover of ]'s hit song "Hearts" that Dalida was very fond of.

*"Si la France" / "Jouez Bouzouki"
"Jouez Bouzouki" is the biggest hit from this album as it was hugely successful in the Middle East{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} and fared particularly well in Lebanon where it was a big hit{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} due to extensive radio airplay.
Playing on the Greek theme once again{{Clarify|date=October 2011}} and featuring ] instrumentation, the song is a festive mix of Greek folk and pop music.
