"Près de moi" is the second single recorded by the French singer Lorie. Released in 2001, it was the first single from her first album Près de Toi, on which it features as second track (and as 14th and 15th tracks in remixed versions). The single was a smash hit in France and Belgium (Wallonia).
Lyrics and music were composed by Johnny Williams and Louis Element in 2001. Lorie, who wanted to become a singer, went to the producers and was chosen to record the song. Initially, Près de moi was available as a free download on the Internet because no recording company wanted to release the song as a single. It was a success and Lorie signed a contract with Epic.[1]
The music video was shot in Miami, directed by Vincent Egret and produced by Yul Films.[2] In it, Lorie and some dancers perform a choreographied dance.
The song is included on Lorie's best of, and also on the live album Live Tour, as second track.[3] It was included in a medley (eighth track) on the 2004 album Week End Tour.[4] Many French compilations contain the song, such as Stars of TV, Dance Machine 22 and Hits France 2001.
