"'Toi + Moi'" is a 2008 pop song recorded by French singer Grgoire. It was his debut single off his album of the same name and was released in October 2008. It achieved huge success in francophone countries.

Background and release



As the song was produced by 347 Internet users, Grgoire allowed forty of them to appear elsewhere in the music video performing the song in playback. This 3:02 video is available on the DVD of the collector edition. As sign of popularity, the song and the music video were included on the famous double compilation 'NRJ Music Awards 2009'.

The song was quickly aired by the radio NRJ and RTL. With this song, Grgoire was nominated at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards in the category 'French revelation of the year' and performed it on the show in a new version with Sheryfa Luna, Shy'm, Zaho, Natasha St-Pier, Sofia Essadi, Ndiya et Louisy Joseph. "Toi + Moi" was thus included on the 'NRJ Music Awards 2009' compilation.

In 2009, the song was covered by Maurane, Maxime Le Forestier, Claire Keim, Grard Darmon, Julie Zenatti, Grald De Palmas, Liane Foly and Nolwenn Leroy for Les Enfoirs' album 'Les Enfoirs font leur cinma'. This cover version was ranked number 16 on the Belgian Ultratop 50 Singles Chart on 28 March 2009.

'Toi + Moi' was also used as the theme song for the 2012 edition of the Qubcois musical reality series, 'Star Acadmie', sung by the contestants.

"Toi + Moi" was a smash hit, peaking at number-one on the French Digital chart for six non-consecutive weeks from 27 September 2008, and eventually became the most downloaded single of the year in France. It was also much aired on radio, peaking at number two on 24 October 2008.

The song was also a number-one hit single and on the Belgian (Wallonia) Singles Chart, debuting at number one on 8 November and staying atop for twelve consecutive weeks.
