"'Je n'ai que mon me'" (; "All I Have is My Soul") is a song by Natasha St-Pier, the entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001. It was sung mainly in French, with some lyrics in English (the first time a French entry contained any English lyrics). The song was released in Canada as the lead single from the compilation album carrying the same name 'Je n'ai que mon me'.
