[edit] Background and release
In May 2005, the fans were disappointed when "Q.I" was chosen as the second single, while "Peut-être toi" was already broadcast on radio and then seemed to be a next single.[1] Later, as of May 22, 2006, a rumor announced "Dans les rues de Londres" as the fifth single from the album.[2] However, on June 16, 2006, it was officially announced that "Peut-être toi" would be the fifth and last single from Avant que l'ombre...[3]
The song was broadcast for the first time on June 19, on NRJ, in the 'radio edit' version. On June 26, the first remix, called 'Miss Farmer's remix', was presented but no aired. On July 6, the two versions - 'radio edit' and 'Miss Farmer's remix' - were available on digital download websites. Twenty-one days later, the second remix - 'Cox's remix' -, was officially announced. The single was eventually released on August 21, in three limited editions : CD single, CD maxi et 12" vinyl.[4]
The first remix was produced by Bionix (he also produced one of them for "L'Amour n'est rien...") and the two others were made by Chris Cox (who also remixed "Désenchantée" and "Q.I").
"Peut-être toi" was performed during the 2006 Farmer's tour, and thus it is available on the live album Avant que l'ombre... à Bercy (track 2, CD 1, 3:27).
[edit] Lyrics and music
Song's lyrics are optimistic, which is very rare in Farmer's career. In the refrain, the singer explains to her lover that he should prevent her from speaking "if her dark universe exceeded her love". The song is punctuated with several "Shut up" sung by Farmer and has dance sonorities.[1]
[edit] Music video
The music video was produced as a manga by Production I.G, a famous Japanese anime company and was directed by Kusumi Naoko, Kazuchika Kise and Shuichi Hirata. It was originally intended to illustrate "Fuck Them All",[5] as the booklet of Music Video IV proves it indicating that the video was produced in 2005.[6]
On July 7, the videoclip was presented by Universal in a 20 seconds version on mobile phone, and in its full version by Orange, the day after. Then it was also presented on several websites : on Yahoo Music five days after, and on Orange website, on July 21.
The video, presented on TV on July 19, was the more broadcast of those from album Avant que l'ombre.... It was also available in download on I-tunes on July 29.[4] During a musical programme named Les 100 Meilleurs Clips du XXIè siècle aired on MCM on February 25, 2007, this video reached number four (behind those of "Fuck Them All" (#1) and "Redonne-moi" (#3)) thanks to the voters of the TV viewers.[7]
[edit] Chart performances
The single had it's best performance in France, debuted straight at #3 on August 26, with 18,144 sales - it best weekly sales.[8] The following weeks, it kept on dropping and remained for 9 weeks in top 50 and 15 weeks on the chart.[9] According to the SNEP, "Peut-être toi" was the 97th best-selling singles from the first till the third quarter of 2006 (from January 1 to September 30).[10]
