About Fan

"Fan" is a 2003 song recorded by French singer and composer Pascal Obispo. Written by Lionel Florence who had previously worked for many notable artists, the song is a tribute to great artists, particularly Michel Polnareff. Released on March 14, 2003, as the lead single of the album of the same name, "Fan" achieved great success in France and Belgium (Wallonia), becoming to date Obispo's first number-one hit and his most successful single in terms of chart peak positions. The song was also performed during the singer's next tours and was thus included on the albums Studio Fan / Live Fan (2004) and Les Fleurs de Forest (2007). The CD single was released in many editions with various art cover showing Obispo portraying many artists such as Robert De Niro, Freddie Mercury and Marilyn Monroe. In France, the single went straight to number-one on 1 June 2003, and almost didn't stop to drop the weeks after, totalling eight weeks in the top ten, 18 weeks in the top 50 and 27 weeks in the top 100. As of August 2014, it was the 108th best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 292,000 units sold.

J'ai vécu sous des posters
A me croire le seul à connaître
Tout de vous
J'en ai refait des concerts
En rêvant de voir apparaître
Marylou

J'inventais des lettres à France
En solitaire, en silence
Si je n'ai pas su l'écrire
Je voulais simplement te dire

Que si, si j'existe
J'existe
C'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan
Si j'existe
Ma vie, c'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan
Sans répit, jour et nuit

Mais qui peut dire je t'aime donc je suis

J'en ai connu des hôtels
En attendant un signe, un geste
De ta part

J'en ai suivi des galères
Pris des trains, fait des kilomètres
Pour te voir

Mettre un nom sur un visage
Derrière une vitre, un grillage
Quelque chose à retenir
Faire comprendre avant de t'enfuir

Que si, si j'existe
J'existe
C'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan
Si j'existe
Ma vie, c'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan
Sans répit, jour et nuit

Mais qui peut dire je t'aime donc je suis

Qui peut dire qu'il existe?
Et le dire pour la vie

Que si, si j'existe
J'existe
C'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan
Si j'existe
Ma vie, c'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan
Sans répit, jour et nuit

C'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan
Si j'existe
J'existe
C'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan

C'est d'être fan
C'est d'être fan
Mais qui peut dire
Je t'aime donc je suis
Mais qui peut dire
Donc je suis
Donc je suis
Qui peut dire?
Qui peut dire?
Pour la vie

Je suis fan
