Background

The song was written in response to the death of actress Sylvia Lopez from leukemia in 1959. It was first presented by Cécile Caulier on the French variety series Le Petit Conservatoire de la chanson. Françoise Hardy then contacted Caulier and offered to record the song for her 1964 album.
