Commercial performance

"Love Story" failed to reproduce the success of the singles from her album Mini World (2014); it has entered Belgium and her native country France, at number 48 and 57, respectively. [2] [3] However, the song became popularised several years later, particularly on TikTok. [4] The YouTube clip of "Love Story" had accumulated more than 454 million views. [5]

In 2025, the song was sampled in "What You Saying" by Lil Uzi Vert. [6]

Music video

The music video of "Love Story" is a continuation of her previous single "S.O.S" video, ending with a panel bearing the inscription "Love Story". [7] Filmed in Iceland and directed by Karim Ouaret, [8] with Jalane in production, it was unveiled on 17 November 2014 via YouTube. [5] [9]

Synopsis

The music video tells the story of an elderly and widowed man with his love of the past. [8] Indila sings there standing on a block of ice. [10] [11] Several scenes appeared during the video, with a child sitting on the edge of his bed, an old man leaving his house and then laying a rose on his wife's grave, and a woman with her companion who is about to board a boat.
