Song information

This song is actually a French-language adaptation of Johanna Demker's song "True Love". The music video was shot in London, and shows the singer walking in the streets.

The song features on many French compilations, such as Best Of France 2002 and Now! Hits Référence Vol. 2. It was also available on the Star Academy's albums, Les Singles and Le Live. The song was included on Jenifer's live album Jénifer fait son live, as the 17th track. [1]

In February 2007, the song was also released in the U.S. at the same time as the album Jenifer.

The song went straight to number two on the French Singles Chart, on 20 April 2002, and was unable to dislodge Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever". Then it almost did not stop to drop the following weeks, totalling seven weeks in the top ten, 12 weeks in the top 50 and 19 weeks in the top 100. [2] It achieved Gold status [3] and ranked 30th on the End of the Year Chart. [4] According to Infodisc website, about 209,000 copies of the single were sold in France. [5]

The single charted for 13 weeks in Belgium (Wallonia), from 27 April 2002. It started at number eight, then climbed to number two, just behind her former candidate of the Star Academy 1, Jean-Pascal Lacoste, with his single "L'Agitateur". Then it dropped on the chart and remained for eight weeks in the top ten. [6] It was certified Gold disc [7] and features at number 14 on the Annual Chart. [8]
