"J'ai demandé à la lune" (I asked the moon) is a song by the French new wave band Indochine, from their 2002 album Paradize.
Written by Mickaël Furnon, the singer of Mickey 3D, the song was released as the second single from this album in March 2002, and quickly became a national success, selling over a million units.
