The title of the album is an extrapolation on the title of single "Tu es toujours là", featured on the French version of previous album Just Me. The latter means "You're always there" in the singular and is aimed at a loved one, while the former has the same meaning in the plural, implying the singer addresses a group of people, in this case her fans, thanking them for their support.
The 13 live tracks featured on the record were recorded at Paris' L'Olympia concert hall, however they do not appear on the album in the order they were performed on stage. This is the second album to feature songs interpreted by Tina Arena at the Olympia, following the 2000 release Souvenirs, which contained three renditions recorded at the venue.
French-Canadian singer Roch Voisine joined Tina Arena on stage to perform "I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You", originally a duet with Marc Anthony. "Les Trois Cloches" was sung in Franglais, with the second verse performed in English, contrary to the album version and the single edit, which are entirely in French.
