"Mon mec à moi" is the name of a 1987 song recorded by the French singer Patricia Kaas. It was her third single from her debut studio album, Mademoiselle chante..., on which it features as first track, and her fourth single overall. Released in November 1988, it was Kaas' first top five hit in France, which remains her best peak position on the French Singles Chart.

Song information[]

After the success of the two previous singles, "Mademoiselle chante le blues" and "D'Allemagne", which had preceded the album release, Kaas came out what was really the first single from Mademoiselle chante..., "Mon mec à moi". The text was written by Didier Barbelivien and the music composed by François Bernheim. In the song, the narrator tells her love life with her boyfriend who says to her many lies in which she believes by love for him.

"Mon mec à moi" has become a "real popular success" throughout the years.[1]

The song was performed during Kaas' concert tours in 1991, 1994 and 1998, and was thus included on the live albums Carnets de scène, Tour de charme and Rendez-vous and also on the singer's best of Rien ne s'arrête and Ma Liberté contre la tienne in a live version.

Chart performance[]

In France, the single started at number 28 on 3 December 1988, climbed and dropped alternately, but eventually reached the top ten on 21 January 1989. It peaked at number five in its tenth week (it is Kaas' highest position on the French Singles Chart, and this recorded was also performed by her 1993 single "Il me dit que je suis belle") and remained in the top ten for four consecutive weeks, then dropped and fell off after the 18th week.[2]

It was certified Silver disc and, according to Infodisc website, it is Kaas' third best-selling single.[3]
