Song information

This song is actually a French-language adaptation of I'Dees' song "Black Coffee And A Stranger". It was also performed during Jenifer's first tour, and was thus included on the live album Jenifer fait son live (18th track).^[1] The song was dedicated to the singer's son and the music video was shot in Paris in April 2004. The B-side of the CD single, "Qui ment", was an unreleased song that was not available on Jenifer's first album.

In France, the single entered at a peak of number nine on 6 June 2004 and reached this position another time. It dropped slowly on the chart and remained for three weeks in the top ten, 17 weeks in the top 50 and 22 weeks in the top 100.^[2] It featured at number 44 on the End of the Year Chart.^[3]

In Belgium, the single charted for 13 weeks, from 19 June 2004. It started at number 17 and peaked at number nine, totalling ten weeks in the top 20.^[4] It was the 38th best-selling single of 2004.^[5]
