[edit]

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] The first single, "Tout l'or des hommes" was sent to radio on 27 August 2003.[3][2][4] It was written by Jacques Veneruso who wrote Dion's and Garou's 2001 number-one hit, "Sous le vent".[2] The music video for the song was serviced to video outlets in September 2003 and the CD single was released on 6 October 2003 in France, Switzerland and Belgium, on 7 October 2003 in Canada and a few weeks later in Germany.[2][5] In 2005, "Tout l'or des hommes" was included on Dion's greatest hits album, On ne change pas.
