"Contre nature" was written by Jacques Veneruso, who wrote for Dion her previous French hits like "Sous le vent" or "Tout l'or des hommes."[1]

On October 1, 2003 Céline Dion taped the 1 fille & 4 types TV special at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where she performed this song among others.

The music video, directed by Didier Kerbrat, was filmed on March 27, 2004 in the Mojave Desert and released on April 26, 2004. It was included on Dion's 2005 DVD, called On ne change pas. The making of "Contre nature" video was also included there as a DVD bonus.

The song was popular in Quebec, reaching number 2 on the Airplay Chart.

"Contre nature" was included later as a bonus track on the French edition of A New Day... Live in Las Vegas album.

It was also featured on Dion's greatest hits compilation On ne change pas in 2005.
