After the success of the previous studio album, Je te dis vous, Kaas decided to release a new album in 1997, which was entitled Dans ma chair.The album marked the second collaboration with the French songwriter and singer Jean-Jacques Goldman who had already written her 1993 hit single "Il me dit que je suis belle".
This compilation was the first one released by the singer. It debuted on October 22, 2001 and was published by her record company, Sony BMG. As indicates on the cover with the mention '1987-2001', the album, actually a best of, contains all Kaas' songs released as singles from her first five studio albums (Mademoiselle chante..., Scène de vie, Je te dis vous, Dans ma chair, Le Mot de passe).

Various singles were released to promote the album, including the most successful "Il me dit que je suis belle" (number five in France; Silver certification), and also "Entrer dans la lumière" (number fifteen in France), "Ceux qui n'ont rien" and "Reste sur moi" (number twenty-six on the US Dance Club Songs).

Mademoiselle chante... is the debut studio album by the French singer Patricia Kaas, released in 1988. Preceded by the hit singles " Mademoiselle chante le blues ", widely regarded as Kaas' signature song, and "D'Allemagne", the album was a commercial success, selling three million copies.
