Commercial performance

edit

The song reached number two spot in home market singles charts (France and Belgium), and number one spot on singles charts in Greece, Israel, Romania and Turkey. On 1 March 2014, it entered the Greek charts at number-one and spent seven weeks at number one.[2] On 19 April 2014, it was knocked down to No. 2 by Pharrell Williams' "Happy".[3] It reclaimed No. 1 the following week,[4] and remained there for another five weeks, totaling at thirteen weeks at No. 1.[5]

Music video

edit

The music video for the song was released on 4 December 2013.[6][7] The video is intercut with scenes of Indila singing in front of a wide view of Paris. The story begins with Indila being kicked out of her house and she wanders throughout Paris being disrespected by the locals as the city gets darker due to a storm beginning. It is implied that the storm is connected with Indila's negative emotions, as shown in a brief flashback. Indila then walks directly into the storm and seemingly clears it by using her singing voice, saving Paris.

As of February 2026, the video has gathered over 1.3 billion views, being the only French-language song to achieve this.[8][9]
