Everything about Chaque Pas totally explained
"
À chaque pas" was the third single from the winner of the French version of
Pop Idol -
A La Recherche De La Nouvelle Star,
Jonatan Cerrada.
As well as the
Eurovision Song Contest 2004 entry for France.
Background and writing
"À chaque pas" was released in March 2004 as Jonatan's third single. This song hadn't already featured on his debut album
Siempre 23 which was released in September 2003. The album was re-released with it as a bonus track. The song was written by Ben Robbins and
Steve Balsamo.
"À chaque pas" translates to 'With Every Step' in
English. The song tells the tale of the ups and downs of any relationship. Jonatan is ethnically
Spanish and so is fluent in
Spanish and
French, singing the final verse of the song in Spanish - the first occasion on which the
French Contest entry was performed partly in this language.
Eurovision 2004
Despite France's 18th place at the
2003 Contest, the song was pre-qualified for the final as France are one of the "Big Four" (along with
Spain,
Germany and the
United Kingdom), which means that their entries are exempt from qualification in the semi-final.
The song was performed fourth on the night (following
Norway's
Knut Anders Sørum with
High and preceding
Serbia and Montenegro's
Željko Joksimović & Ad Hoc Orchestra with
Lane Moje). At the close of voting, it had received 40 points, placing 15th in a field of 24.
The song was succeeded as
French representative at the
2005 Contest by
Ortal with "
Chacun pense à soi".
