"L'amour toujours"
Song

"L'amour toujours" (also named "I'll Fly with You") is the title of a song co-written and recorded by the Italian DJ Gigi D'Agostino. The song was released to American clubs and dance radio in July 2001. In Europe, the song was released in October 2001. The song is from the 1999 homonymous album. In the summer of 2001, the song became extremely popular in the American rave scene. It became an international success and a huge hit throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia. In the United States, it peaked at #78 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 15, 2001.[1]

Etymology

The title "L'amour toujours" means "love always" in French. However, the song is recorded entirely in English and the title does not appear in the lyrics.

Music video

The music video for the song contains footage taken from live performances of Gigi D'Agostino performing throughout Europe at rave parties. The version used in the music video is the "Small Mix".[2]

  • Finnish Big Brother contestant Tero Savikuja mentioned "L'amour toujours" as his favorite song when he attended the TV show, and it was played several times in the Big Brother house during that season. There's also a locally popular Finnish version of the song on YouTube called "Seppo on bi", which translates as "Seppo is a bisexual".[3] The name probably derives from its rhythmical uniformity with the song's distinctive synthesizer riff.
