D'elles also includes another version of "On s'est aimé à cause," titled "A cause" (meaning "because"). The lyrics written by Françoise Dorin were modified to fit the danceable arrangement of the song. The music was composed by Jacques Veneruso, who also produced the track with Thierry Blanchard. Dion performed "A cause" in France in May 2007, during the television special on TF1, dedicated to the release of her new album.
Background and release
On 22 January 2008, it was announced that Dion will promote a remix of "A cause" as the next single from D'elles in France.[6] It was also expected that she will perform it on the Star Academy on 25 January 2008.[6] However instead, Dion performed "Alone" from her new English-language album, Taking Chances. On 7 February 2008, it was revealed that on the same day, the media received two envelopes with promotional singles, one with "A cause", and the other with "Alone".[7]
"A cause" was remixed by the French producer DJ Rien aka Luc Bruaud.[7] The promotional single includes the album version of "A cause", the radio edit, which is a remix by DJ Rien, and "Alone" as the third track.[8] A longer version of the remix, lasting three minutes and 41 seconds was posted by DJ Rien on his Myspace page at the same time.[9]
