Background and release
Dion started working on her next French-language album on 8 October 2002 in Paris where she met with four French songwriters and producers: Jean-Jacques Goldman, Erick Benzi, Jacques Veneruso and Gildas Arzel. After four days of rehearsals, Dion met with them again in Las Vegas in May 2003, during her break from performing in A New Day.... The songs were recorded between 2–11 May 2003.[1] Goldman, who wrote and produced Dion's best-selling French-language albums of all time, D'eux, guided 1 fille & 4 types as the artistic director.[2] "Contre nature", written by Veneruso and produced by Benzi, was selected as the third, but promotional only single.[3] The cover art of the promotional cd with song's radio edit was revealed on 6 March 2004.[3] "Contre nature" was sent to radio in France on 18 March 2004 and in Canada on 12 April 2004.[4][5] The music video premiered on 30 April 2004.[6] In 2005, "Contre nature" was included on Dion's greatest hits album, On ne change pas.
