Astrïd and Sylvain Chauveau previously released the collaborative album Butterfly in the Snowfall in 2014, and have played shows together and with Rachel Grimes. Sylvain often covers songs, changing the original music using electronic or a minimalistic harmonium. For their new collaboration, Astrïd and Sylvain decided to work together for the first time on an album of cover songs, starting with Nina Simone’s version of Dambala, then Nancy Sinatra’s Bang Bang (a song Sylvain regularly performs live). These two songs pointed towards the concept of the album: all iconic songs originally written and/or performed by woman singers.

As the musicians all live in different places, the album took some time to be recorded, across different sessions in Nantes, France. The album is also the last recording on which Guillaume Wickel appears, after he sadly passed in 2022. His disease and death put the album on hiatus for some time, before Cyril Secq started to work on it again and did the final mixes. The record is dedicated to Guillaume.

The CD packaging was conceived by visual artists Alix Petit & Julien Nédélec across a 6-panel gatefold sleeve, 12 page CD booklet and CD sleeve. Their artwork references the artwork from the albums where the original songs appeared. Julien and Alix printed the original album sleeves, then used a wet paint brush to isolate areas of the cover artwork, reversed the prints then quickly photographed the results. In some ways these abstracted versions of the original album covers mirrors the relationship between the original songs and the new cover versions. The album artwork appears to be like paintings, like stigmata of the original images.
