Track listing
Disc one contains 17 tracks, and disc two and three contain 18 tracks.

The track was adapted by Dominique Gorse, who edited the lyrics to include both French and English. The track is considered a repeat of Tyler's 2004 hit singles, "Si demain... (Turn Around)" and "Si Tout S'Arrete (It's A Heartache)" in France.
