Il y a trop de gens qui t'aiment

"Il y a trop de gens qui t'aiment" is the name of a 1999 song recorded by French artist Hélène Ségara. It was the first single from her second studio album, Au Nom d'une Femme, on which it features as first track. Released on 8 November 1999, the song became a hit in Belgium (Wallonia) and France, topping the singles charts.

Music and lyrics
The song was written by Christian Vié and the music composed by Thierry Geoffroy. This ballad deals with a love that is not shared: indeed, in the lyrics, Ségara observes the man she loves, and describes his actions, but as he is surrounded by many other people, he does not pay attention to her. The text "contrasts the coldness of the remoteness of the person loved and the narrator's thwarted love". The song is characterized by a "stripped orchestration" and a "romantic monotony in the repetitive chords" played on piano. In the refrain, Ségara sings in the high notes, accompanied by strings, expressing her suffering. The song ends with a solo played on violin that seems to express the singer's resignation. ==Performances and cover versions==
