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] "Je lui dirai", written by Goldman and produced by Benzi, was one of the songs released on 1 fille & 4 types in October 2003.[3] One year later, it was added to the Miracle album in France and Belgium, and released as a promotional single there.
