"Dernière danse" (English: "Last dance") is a song recorded by French singer-songwriter Indila. It served as the first single from her debut album, Mini World.

Less than ten years after its release, on 19 May 2023, the clip became the first French-language song to exceed one billion views on YouTube.[1][2]

Music video

Background and synopsis

The music video was released on 5 December 2013.[3][4] The video is intercut with scenes of Indila singing in front of a wide view of Paris. The story begins with Indila being kicked out of her house and she wanders throughout Paris being disrespected by the locals as the city gets darker due to a storm beginning. It is implied that the storm is connected with Indila's negative emotions, as shown in a brief flashback. Indila then walks directly into the storm and seemingly clears it by using her singing voice, saving Paris. As of September 10, 2023, the video has accumulated over 1.039 billion views, being the only French song to achieve this.

Lyric video

A lyric video was uploaded on the artist's Vevo channel simultaneously on the release day of the song.[5]

Chart performance

On 1 March 2014, it entered the Greek charts at number-one and spent seven weeks at number one.[6] On 19 April 2014, it was knocked down to No. 2 by Pharrell Williams' Happy.[7] It reclaimed No. 1 the following week,[8] and remained there for another five weeks, totaling at thirteen weeks at No. 1.[9]
