Composition

The song is an upbeat ballad in which Sandrine François explains that everything good in life takes time, and that she is prepared to fight to achieve her goals. The composition has been compared to the likes of ballads performed by Celine Dion, pointing to the fact that Erick Benzi, the song's producer, is responsible for producing many of Dion's songs and hits.[2]
