Rien que pour ça... is the second album by the French singer Elsa Lunghini and was released in 1990.

Background and critical reception
In this album, recorded in London, Elsa continued her musical collaboration with her father, Georges Lunghini, since he was co-producer of the album and composed all the tracks with Vincent-Marie Bouvot, except the eponymous title, which was composed by Elsa herself.
For the texts, Elsa was surrounded by famous lyricists : Gérard Presgurvic and Thierry Séchan, Renaud's brother.
This album confirmed the success of Elsa to the public : indeed, in addition to being certified double Gold by the SNEP,[4] it allowed her to go on stage for the first time. Indeed, she climbed on Olympia stage, Paris, in October 1990 to perform songs from her first two albums.
In 1991, "Je s'rai là" was released as the fourth single from the album, but as a promotional CD in Canada only.
