Singles
The first single released from the album was "Je sais" (English: "I Know"), an uptempo number signifying Shy'm's change in sound. "Je sais" was not released physically and thus did not chart (at the time, the official French singles chart was CD singles only), but reached #3 on the country's digital chart. It became her highest-peaking song on the digital chart until "Et alors !", two years later.
The second single was "Je suis moi" (English: "I Am Me"). Like the previous single, "Je suis moi" was not released physically. It did however peak at #7 on the country's digital chart.
The third single from the album was the title track, "Prendre l'air" (English: "Get Some Fresh Air"). Unlike the previous singles, this was eligible to chart, for the official chart now counted downloads. However, it was only able to peak at #21. The fourth single, "Tourne" (English: "Turn") peaked at #35, and the final single "En apesanteur" (English: "Weightless") reached #32.
