The song is written by the duo members Bertrand Cantat and Pascal Humbert and by Lebanese-Quebec artist Wajdi Mouawad after Mouawad cooperated with them in the album release Chœurs relating to his theatrical work Le Cycle des Femmes: Trois histoires de Sophocle.
The resulting 17-track album Chœurs of Greek choir renditions for the play was credited to Cantat, Humbbert, guitarist Bernard Falaise and drummer Alexander MacSween.
