Background and release
Dion started working on her next French-language album on 8 October 2002 in Paris where she met with four French songwriters and producers: Jean-Jacques Goldman, Erick Benzi, Jacques Veneruso and Gildas Arzel. After four days of rehearsals, Dion met with them again in Las Vegas in May 2003, during her break from performing in A New Day.... 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. In 2005, "Je lui dirai" was included on Dion's greatest hits album, On ne change pas.[4]
