The narrator of the song boasts that she is unafraid to face any number of tribulations and challenges of the body and spirit, but admits life without the one she loves just might be more than she could bear. Dion has stated that this is one of her favorites among her songs, because it reminds her of her feelings for husband René Angélil.

Two music videos were made for this song: a non-singing version and a performance (singing) one, both of which were directed by Greg Masuak in 1995. These music videos can be found on Céline Dion's DVD "On ne change pas" (2005). Edited versions of the non-singing video were also used for "Next Plane Out" and "Call the Man" singles (none of them was released in France).

An English version of this song, called "I Don't Know" was featured on "Falling into You". to promote that album.

The song was featured on Céline Dion's greatest hits compilation "On ne change pas". The live version was a part of two other albums: "Live à Paris" and "Au cœur du stade".

"Je sais pas" was a smash hit in France, where it topped the singles chart for 7 weeks, selling 506,000 copies (should be certified platinum but it remains undercertified with silver award). It was also number 1 in Belgium Wallonia (for 2 weeks) and Quebec (4 weeks). The 1995 studio version peaked at number 34 in the Netherlands. The 1997 live version from "Live à Paris" reached number 78.
