"Toute seule" is the name of a 2002 song recorded by the French artist Lorie. The song was released on 19 March 2002 as third and last single from her debut album, Près de Toi, on which it features as fourth track (and as 16th track on a remixed version). It was a top ten hit in France, and a top 15 hit in Belgium (Wallonia).

Song information

The music video, shot at Studio Canadian, was directed by Vincent Egret and produced by Plein Sud Films.[1] In the lyrics, the singer says she prefers to remain alone instead of dating with a stupid boy.

The song is included on Lorie's best of, Best of. As it was performed on the singer's three tours, it also features on the live albums Live Tour (third track),[2] Week End Tour[3] and Live Tour 2006 (included in a medley, 12th track). It also appears on many compilations, such as Hitbox 2002 - Best Of vol. 4.
