Alizée therefore joined the singing category instead, performing the song "Waiting for Tonight" by Jennifer Lopez and "Ma Prière" (a single released by Axelle Red in 1997).
Her winning performance was seen by Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, who were looking for a young, fresh voice to partake in their new project.
"[3] In France, "Moi... Lolita" peaked at number two for 13 nonconsecutive weeks on the SNEP Singles Chart, being unable to dislodge "Les Rois du monde" by Gregori Baquet, Damien Sargue and Philippe D'Avilan from the number-one spot.
The song was certified gold two months after its release by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP).
In the first part of the video Alizée is running away from a man who professes his love for her and gives her a money bill when she asks for it.
