Released in 2001, it was the first single from her first album 'Prs de Toi', on which it features as second track (and as 14th and 15th tracks in remixed versions). The single was a smash hit in France and Belgium (Wallonia). Background, writing, music videoLyrics and music were composed by Johnny Williams and Louis Element in 2001. Lorie, who wanted to become a singer, went to the producers and was chosen to record the song. Initially, 'Prs de moi' was available as a free download on the Internet because no recording company wanted to release the song as a single. It was a success and Lorie signed a contract with Epic. The music video was shot in Miami, directed by Vincent Egret and produced by Yul Films. In it, Lorie and some dancers perform a choreographied dance. The song is included on Lorie's best of, and also on the live album 'Live Tour', as second track. It was included in a medley (eighth track) on the 2004 album 'Week End Tour'. Many French compilations contain the song, such as 'Stars of TV', 'Dance Machine 22' and 'Hits France 2001'. Chart performancesIn France, the single achieved success. It started at number 28 on 5 May 2001, hit number two on June 30 and remained in the top ten for 24 weeks. Then it dropped quickly and totaled 31 weeks in the top 50 and 32 weeks in the top 100. It was certified Platinum disc by the SNEP, the French certifier. As of August 2014, it was the 58th best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 369,000 units sold. The single charted for 30 weeks on the Ultratop 40, from 7 July 2001. It debuted at number 34, reached the top ten three weeks later, and finally peaked at number one for three weeks. It totaled 15 weeks in the top ten, then dropped slowly.
