Around 120 artists from France and other French-speaking countries took part in the song and the music videos. All revenues from the sale of the record go into Sidaction, a major French public event that started in 1994 in France for raising awareness and collecting charitable funds for AIDS. It donates important sums to various AIDS charities, HIV/AIDS research, institutions specializing in medical care and social aid for those suffering of HIV/AIDS in France and internationally.

The 2014 Sidaction project was under the direction of Pascal Obispo, being the 20th anniversary of the Sidaction association that was established in 1994.

The title track "Kiss & Love" is the only original song arranged by Brice Davoli with artistic contributions by Alain Souchon, Julien Clerc, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Francis Cabrel et Françoise Hardy and others.
