"Mon amour" (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃n‿amuʁ]; transl. "My love") is a song by French singer Slimane, released on 8 November 2023 by Noé Music. Described as an "ode to romance and love", it was written and composed by Slimane, Yaacov Salah, and Meïr Salah. The song represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, where it finished in 4th place with 445 points at the grand final.
"Mon amour" entered the charts in France and Belgium and was certified gold by the SNEP.
Background and composition
"Mon amour" has music and lyrics by Slimane, Yaacov Salah, and Meïr Salah.[2] 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.[3] The song itself is described as an "ode to romance and love... with a poetic yet strong melody" by ESCUnited writer Arnaud Abadie.[4]
Slimane was officially announced as France's Eurovision representative for 2024 on France Inter on 8 November 2023.[5] The song officially premiered on France 2 television show Journal de 20 heures later that day, with Slimane performing a live version.[6]
Critical reception
Vulture's Jon O'Brien ranked the song 26th overall, describing it as a "chanson so quintessentially French it might as well be performed by a beret-wearing bicyclist holding a baguette".[7]
Eurovision Song Contest
Internal selection
France's broadcaster France Télévisions officially announced their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 on 7 June 2023,[8] with France Télévisions officially announcing on 8 November 2023 that they had chosen to choose their artist internally in favor of a national final. On that same day, Slimane was officially announced as the country's representative for that year.[5]
At Eurovision
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is taking place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consists of two semi-finals held on 7 and 9 May, respectively, and the final on 11 May 2024. According to Eurovision rules, all countries, except the host and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), are required to qualify from one semi-final to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. As France is a "Big Five" country, the song is given automatic entry into the grand final. However, despite being an automatic qualifier for the final, the French entry will also be performed during the semi-final.[9]
