"Te Quiero" (English: I Love You) is a 2010 song by Belgian singer Stromae, released on May 10, 2010 as a CD-promo-single and on June 7 it was released as the 5th promo-single for his first album, Cheese. The official release date as a single of the album was August 27.[1] The song has charted in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Poland and in Switzerland.

Music video[]

The official music video of the song shows Stromae himself at a filming stage falling in love with his film partner. The video was styled by fashion designer and stylist Valentine Avoh.

Unofficial music video[]

On May 28, 2010 Stromae uploaded an unofficial music video of the song, in which he walks into a huge hall, goes to a microphone standing in the middle of it, singing the song and then leaving. This video is called "Stromae - "Te Quiero" ... ceci n'est pas un clip" (‘Te Quiero...this is not a music video’).

In the video, Stromae emulates the gestures and impassioned style of Jacques Brel. The lyrics reference Brel as well: "Je voudrais être son ombre/ Mais je la déteste" ("I wanted to be her shadow/ But I hate her") echoes "Laisse-moi devenir/ L'ombre de ton ombre" ("Let me become/ The shadow of your shadow") in Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas".
