Background and release
The lyrics, by Jacques Veneruso, who worked with Dion on her previous French album, 1 fille & 4 types, say that the song is a dedication to all Dion's fans, a declaration of love. Veneruso wrote and produced also four tracks for Dion's next French album D'elles, as well as the lead single from Sans attendre.
The music video was filmed and directed by Didier Kerbrat in Montreal's Imperial Theatre in July 2005, and released in September 2005.
Dion visited France in October 2005 to promote her new album and performed "Je ne vous oublie pas" in various TV shows. The single reached there number 2 and was certified gold (200,000 copies sold). It was also successful in other countries, reaching number 2 in Quebec, number 4 in Belgium Wallonia and number 21 in Switzerland.{{cite web|url=http://bibnum2.banq.qc.ca/bna/palmares/2010-Franco/Franco-Compilation_succes_ordre_alpha_interpretes.pdf|title=Compilation des succès par ordre alphabétique d'interprètes|publisher=BAnQ|language=fr|access-date=15 March 2019}}
