[edit] Song information
The text was written by Hélène Segara and Christian Vié, while the music was composed by Thierry Geoffroy and Christian Loigerot.[1] The song deals with the departure of the singer from the French Riviera to Paris where she lived at the time. The b-side is Ségara's debut single, "Loin", released in 1993, but which was a relative failure (it didn't reach the charts).
"Je vous aime adieu" was performed during Ségara's first tour and thus is available on the live album En concert à l'Olympia, as sixth track on the first CD. It was included on Ségara's 2004 compilation Le Best of (17th track).
[edit] Chart performances
In France, the single started at #34 on April 27, 1996. It gained a few places almost every week and finally reached a peak of #13 in its 12th week. It dropped slowly on the chart and remained in the top 20 for 15 weeks and in the top 50 for 21 weeks.[2] It was certified Silver disc by the SNEP.[3]
"Je vous aime adieu" was charted for 15 weeks on the Belgian (Wallonia) Ultratop 40 Singles Chart, from August 10 to November 16, 1996. It debuted at #31 and reached #16 two weeks later. Even if it failed to climb higher, it managed to remain for seven weeks in the top 20[4] and became the 72th best-selling single of the year.[5]
