It was the second single from his debut album C'est ça qu'on aime and was released in March 2000.

Based on a Claude François' song “Cette année-là”, it achieved a smash success in France, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.

In 2000, Yannick made a partial cover of François' version: it used almost the same music, but changed the verses.

[6] Pierre Palmade and Patrick Timsit recorded their own version of the song on Les Enfoirés' album 2002: Tous dans le même bateau, on which it features as second track.

[7] It is also the opening number in worldwide smash-hit musical Jersey Boys, which features the life story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
