Music videoA music video was also shot for the single by French director Fabrice Begotti (HappyShooting). The music video shows a soulful Charvet waking at home, taking a morning shower, checking his diary for a certain engagement he takes note of and then going out. On his way, Charvet buys a bouquet of flowers from a street vendor, while heads turn as he walks down the road with eligible women desiring to get his attention and company and he trying to ignore them. Instead, he proceeds to take an almost empty bus, except for a young girl and her mother as makes funny gestures to win her heart. He also notices an apprehensive young man who jumps off the bus to meet an enlisted soldier friend. Eventually Charvet reaches his destination, a cemetery, where he lays the flowers he bought on the tombstone of a fallen relative, that identifies a PFC ("private first class) laid there who had served in World War II. The music video fades away with a message on a black screen that says "in memory of Fifi and Lucette". CreditsVocals
