Background

This compilation was the first one released by the singer. It debuted on October 22, 2001 and was published by her record company, Sony BMG. As indicates on the cover with the mention '1987-2001', the album, actually a best of, contains all Kaas' songs released as singles from her first five studio albums (Mademoiselle chante..., Scène de vie, Je te dis vous, Dans ma chair, Le Mot de passe). However, there are several exceptions : the singles "Elle voulait jouer cabaret" and "Regarde les riches" are not available on this compilation, "Mademoiselle chante le blues" and "Les chansons commencent" were recorded in a live version during the 2000 Le Mot de passe tour, there is a live cover of Barbara's song "L'Aigle noir", "Il me dit que je suis belle" is in its single version, and a new song with eponymous title, "Rien ne s'arrête", features as the first track.
