The next day, the recording company Universal Music said the single would be released first digitally on 11 October. On 22 October, physical formats with remixes by Tomer G, Klaas and Chew Fu were scheduled to be released on 29 November.
In an interview, RedOne explained why he had decided to compose for Farmer, stating: "I've always been a fan of Mylène Farmer. It's like a legend to me. And when Pascal Nègre called me if I wanted to work with her, I said: "Absolutely! I am a big fan!""
According to Pascal Nègre, the music video will be available in early November. The music video premiered on the temporary website for the album on 16 November 2010. The video is directed by Chris Sweeney. In it, the singer appeared dressed in shiny black leather with a crucifix around her neck, and is surrounded by dancers performing a choreographed dance. Many critics consider that this video is inspired by the music videos for "Bad Romance" and "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga.
