Peut-être toi
Summary
"Peut-être toi" (English: "Maybe You") is a 2005 song recorded by the French artist Mylène Farmer. It was the fifth single from her sixth studio album, Avant que l'ombre..., and was released on 21 August 2006. The music video was produced as an animated feature and the lyrics deals with a love relationship. It was a top three hit in France, but its sales were rather modest.
In May 2005, the fans were disappointed when "Q.I" was chosen as the second single, as "Peut-être toi" was already broadcast on radio and then seemed to be a next single. Later, as of 22 May 2006, a rumor announced "Dans les rues de Londres" as the fifth single from the album. However, on 16 June 2006, it was officially announced that "Peut-être toi" would be the fifth and last single from Avant que l'ombre....
The song was broadcast for the first time in its radio edit version on 19 June on NRJ. On 26 June, the first remix, called the Miss Farmer's remix, was presented but not played. On 6 July, both versions - the radio edit and the 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 21 August, in three limited editions: CD single, CD maxi et 12" vinyl. The first remix was produced by Bionix, who 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 as the first song of the concert, and thus it is available on the live album Avant que l'ombre... à Bercy.
The author Benoît Cachin said the 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 and electro sonorities.
