Un roman d'amitié (Friend You Give Me a Reason)

In 1988, Elsa was invited to a French TV programme to perform her second single, "Quelque chose dans mon cœur".

Jean-Pierre Foucault, the host of the show, made her the surprise to invite Glenn Medeiros of whom Elsa was a fan.

The two singers got on and finally decided to record two songs together: "Love Always Finds a Reason", written by Diane Warren, which was recorded in full in English-language and added on Glenn Medeiros' album, and "Un Roman d'amitié", whose complete title is actually "Un Roman d'amitié (Friend You Give Me a Reason)", as it appears on the single's cover.

[1] Medeiros explained why the song had been retitled in French, dealing with friendship while the original version was about love: "Elsa and I don't want our fans to think that we're really going together.
