The album marked a stylistic evolution for the band as they moved away from the punk-infused tones of their earlier work to a more polished pop sound with richer melodic textures.^[2] The production was helmed by Gus Van Go, a notable figure known for his work with several Canadian indie rock acts, which contributed to attaining a fuller, less distorted sound compared to previous releases.^[3]

Les Trois Accords also incorporated brass instruments on this album, enhancing the arrangements' depth and diversity.^[4] The lyrical style remains faithful to the band’s signature quirky humor and surrealism, featuring playful puns and ironic narratives throughout the album.^[5]

Several singles from the album, notably "Caméra vidéo" and "Dans mon corps," received significant radio play in Québec.^[6] The album’s visual identity featured a recurring character portrayed as a 1960s-style soul singer, used in multiple music videos, adding a distinctive thematic cohesion.^[7]
