Background :
On 29 November 2011, Anggun was announced by the France Télévisions as the French representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. Marie Claire Mezzette, the head of the Entertainment Department at France 3, explained that Anggun had been a strong candidate for a long time and last year they were hesitating between her and Amaury Vassili. Regarding the selection, Anggun said: "It's really a great honor. It's a gift for me as Indonesian origin, but naturalized French since 2000. I probably symbolizes France today mixed, made up of many cultures. Your country has given me a beautiful language, beautiful identity. Secretly, we all want to win. I'm going to shine for France."

Anggun composed the song in collaboration with musicians William Rousseau and Jean-Pierre Pilot.

On 17 January 2012, Anggun announced the official title of the song, "Echo (You and I)". The song is mostly in French, with few English lyrics in its chorus. The full English version will be recorded.
