The song was written by Lavoine himself and Jean-François Berger and production was handled by Jean-François Berger, François Delabrière, and Lavoine himself as well. The song addresses themes of loneliness and emotional isolation. The lyrics express a sense of yearning for connection and the emotional emptiness experienced in the absence of a significant person.

The music video complements the song's introspective themes by portraying a narrative of emotional isolation and longing. Set against a backdrop of urban solitude, the video features Lavoine walking through empty streets and desolate interiors, visually emphasizing the song's exploration of loneliness. The cinematography employs muted colors and dim lighting to enhance the melancholic atmosphere, aligning with the reflective nature of the lyrics. Throughout the video, Lavoine's expressive performance underscores the song's themes of yearning and emotional vulnerability. The juxtaposition of the artist's solitary journey with the evocative setting creates a poignant visual representation of the song's narrative.
