Background and writing

For this album, she reunited with the team of writers and producers of her first album. She also collaborated with Serge Gainsbourg, who helped write and produce the album. Although the album was successful and charted higher than her debut, none of its singles matched the success of "Joe le Taxi" from her first album.

Consistently termed her most cohesive work, Gainsbourg's lyrics frequently contain innuendo or double entendre, including the album's title. The highest-charting and biggest-selling single from the album was "Tandem".

"Variations sur le même t'aime" literally means "Variations on the same 'love you'" with the double meaning of "Variations on the same theme"; the title was coined by Serge Gainsbourg as an allusion to his hit song with Jane Birkin, "Je t'aime".

The album is the last record Gainsbourg worked on for a female singer before his death in 1991.

Keeping in tradition with all of Vanessa Paradis' albums, Variations sur le même t'aime features one English-language track, a cover of Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side". The single "Dis-lui toi que je t'aime" remains the most performed song (live) from this album. Released in 1990, the album has remained in print and sells primarily in Paradis' native France as well as in French-speaking Canada.[citation needed]
