History

[edit]

The song was first recorded (lyrics and music) in French by Françoise Hardy in 1964 under the title "Dans le monde entier", featured on the album Mon amie la rose (catalogue number CLD 699.30). It was released in France in October 1964. Translated into English by Julian More under the title "All Over the World", it was released in the United Kingdom on Single on 12 March 1965 by Pye Records.[1]

On March 25, 1965, the song reached the top 50 in the United Kingdom and remained there for 15 weeks (until 8 July — and in the top 20 from April 29 to June 3). "All Over the World" became one of Hardy's most popular songs and is her best known song in the Anglophone world.[4]
