Album information
[edit | edit source]The lead single released off the album, "No Future in the Past", became her first single that did not enter the French singles chart. The song was released in November 2008, after being sent to radios in September. Although "Tired of Being Sorry (Laisse le destin l'emporter)" also appears on the album, it is not considered as the lead single from the album. The track, which is a duet with Latin singer Enrique Iglesias, did become her first chart-topping hit in France, being number one for eleven weeks, later to be confirmed as the best-selling single of 2008.[1] The second single, the ballad "J'irai jusque là" ("I'll Go As Far As There"), originally written and recorded by French musician Gilles Luka under the title "Just Because You Lied",[2][3] was released in early 2009.[needs update]
