D'elles also includes a reworked version of "On s'est aimé à cause", titled "A cause" (lit. 'Because'). Dorin's lyrics were adapted to suit a dance-oriented arrangement. The music was composed by Jacques Veneruso, who produced the track with Thierry Blanchard. Dion performed "A cause" in France in May 2007 during a television special on TF1 promoting the album.
Background and release
"A cause" was remixed by French producer DJ Rien (Luc Bruaud).[8] On 22 January 2008, it was announced that the remix would be promoted as the next single from D'elles in France.[9] The promotional CD single included the album version, the radio edit remixed by DJ Rien, and "Alone" as the third track.[10] An extended remix (3:41) was posted by DJ Rien on his Myspace page.[11]
Dion had been expected to perform "A cause" on Star Academy on 25 January 2008.[9] Instead, she performed "Alone" from her English-language album Taking Chances. On 7 February 2008, media outlets received a promotional envelope containing "Alone", replacing "A cause".[8]
