Preceding the release of Besoin, Stéphanie released her début single "Ouragan", which she produced herself. It reportedly sold in more than 2 million units. Stéphanie then signed a recording contract with French record labels Julisa and Carrere. The album was produced by Yves Roze.[2] Besoin was released in September 1986, incorporating dance-pop, synthpop, dance and pop music. Despite the success of her first album, Stéphanie did not make a follow-up for five years until the release of Stéphanie in 1991.
