The song was released in August 1990 in Canada as the second single from the album Unison. It was also released in Japan at the end of 1991 as the fourth and last single. In the rest of the world, "Unison" was included as B-side to "The Last to Know" single.

The Japanese edition of "Unison" single had a different cover and contained Céline's previous recordings: "Délivre-Moi" and "Can't Live with You, Can't Live Without You", a duet with Canadian singer Billy Newton-Davis (the song was previously a single from his album Spellbound).

There were four club mixes created by Kevin Unger: Single Mix with Rap, Single Mix without Rap, Mainstream Extended Mix, and Club Mix. Three of them feature rap by Frankie Fudge. They can be found on Canadian edition of this single.
