"Au soleil" is Jenifer Bartoli's second and most successful single, from her first album Jenifer. It is the second track on this album. It was released on July 2002 in francophone countries and achieved a great success in France and Belgium (Wallonia).
This optimistic song was written by Hocine Hallaf and produced by Jule Neigel, Benjamin Rafaelli and Nicolas Neidhardt.
In the video, Jenifer walks on the beach. Suddenly, when she begins to sing the refrain, the clouds desappear and the sun starts to shine. This video was shot in February on the beach of Sainte-Croix, near Marseille, France.
In France, the single debuted at #10, on July 13, 2002, before climbing in the top five. It peaked at #2 for three weeks, but was unable to disloge the two successive number-one hits Brastisla Boys' "Stach Stach" and MC Solaar's "Inch'Allah". The single managed to remain for 12 weeks in the top ten, 21 weeks in the top 50 and 24 weeks in the top 100.[1] The single eventually achieved Gold status, awarded by the SNEP.[2] According to Infodisc website, this song is the 646th best-selling single of all time in that country.[3]
The single was charted for 17 weeks on Belgian Ultratop 40 Singles Chart, from July 20 to November 9, 2002. After an entry at #24, it jumped to #7 the week after, and was #4, its best position, on September 14.[4]
"Au soleil" appeared for only eight weeks on the Swiss Singles Chart, peaking at #63 in its sixth week, on January 12, 2003.[5]
