Published by Jhavilah (A0.1272987)."Comme d'habitude" is a French song composed in 1967 by Jacques Revaux, with lyrics by Claude François and Gilles Thibaut. The song is about routine in a relationship falling out of love. Here are some more details about the song: The song was originally written as a ballad named "For Me" with English lyrics about a couple falling out of love. The demo was then sent to Petula Clark, Dalida, and Claude François, but it was rejected. Jacques Revaux rejected a version by Hervé Villard and reworked the track into "Comme d'habitude" with the help of Claude François. François accepted but asked that an underlying theme of a couple in a strained relationship be included, in reference to his recent breakup with fellow French singer France Gall. With some rewriting from Gilles Thibaut, the song became "Comme d'habitude" in its best-known version in French, which was released by Claude François in 1968. The song became a hit in France and was later covered by many artists, including Frank Sinatra, who released it as "My Way" with English lyrics by Paul Anka. "Comme d'habitude" has become a classic French song and has been covered by many artists in French and other languages. Overall, "Comme d'habitude" is a classic French song that has become a beloved standard in the world of pop music. It showcases the songwriting talents of Jacques Revaux, Claude François, and Gilles Thibaut, as well as the emotional depth and resonance of the song's themes. The song has been covered by several artists and has become a timeless classic that continues to be celebrated by music lovers around the world.
