Brigitte Bardot asked Serge Gainsbourg to write “Je T’aime … Moi Non Plus” about her. He ended up recording the song with Jane Birkin
The story behind “Je T’aime … Moi Non Plus” is as intriguing as the song itself. Brigitte Bardot, the iconic French actress and singer, initially asked Serge Gainsbourg to write a song for her. Gainsbourg, a renowned songwriter and musician, composed the sensual and provocative lyrics of “Je T’aime … Moi Non Plus” specifically with Bardot in mind.
However, before Bardot had the chance to record the song, her romantic relationship with Gainsbourg came to an end. Despite this, Gainsbourg found a new collaborator in British actress and singer Jane Birkin. He decided to re-record the song with Birkin, creating an unforgettable duet that would leave a lasting impact on music history.
The intimate and seductive nature of “Je T’aime … Moi Non Plus” caused controversy upon its release in 1969. Its explicit lyrics and sensual vocal performances by Gainsbourg and Birkin pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable at the time. The song’s passionate and provocative nature sparked both fascination and outrage, becoming a cultural phenomenon.
The collaboration between Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, borne out of Brigitte Bardot’s initial request, resulted in a timeless and influential recording. “Je T’aime … Moi Non Plus” continues to be celebrated for its daring and unabashed exploration of love and desire, showcasing Gainsbourg’s unique songwriting style and Birkin’s captivating vocal delivery.
