On 9 December 2015, Orelsan and Gringe released their second collective studio album Comment c'est loin, which also served as the soundtrack for their comedy film of the same name, peaking at number 24 on the French Albums Chart and earning a platinum certification in France 13 months later. In April 2017, Gringe announced that he was working on his debut solo album, but did not provide any exact date for its release. On 3 November 2018, Gringe released his first solo album Enfant lune.
