"Mon amour" (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃n‿amuʁ]; transl. "My love") is a song by French singer Slimane. Described as an "ode to romance and love", the song was written and composed by Slimane, Yaacov Salah, and Meïr Salah. It was released on 8 November 2023 by Noé Music. The song is scheduled to be the French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, held in Malmö. It has so far entered the charts in France and Belgium.

Background and composition

"Mon amour" has music and lyrics by Slimane, Yaacov Salah, and Meïr Salah.[1] The song was written in around 2022 during a music tour, with the song inspired by Slimane's experiences in the Swiss city of Geneva. According to Slimane, the song to him is a "love letter to European hearts", in line with much of Slimane's music, which is mainly based on love. Slimane entered the Eurovision Song Contest as a way of means to share his work, his music, and to represent France.[2] The song itself is described as an "ode to romance and love... with a poetic yet strong melody" by ESCUnited writer Arnaud Abadie.[3]

Slimane was officially announced as France's Eurovision representative for 2024 on France Inter on 8 November 2023.[4] The song officially premiered on France 2 television show Journal de 20 heures later that day, with Slimane performing a live version.[5]
