"Par amour, par pitié" ("For love, for pity") is a song by Sylvie Vartan. It was released on an EP in December 1966 and then as the lead single off of her 1967 studio album 2'35 de bonheur ("2'35 of happiness").
The song was written by Gilles Thibaut and composed by Jean Renard . [1] Originally, the song was written for fellow singer and Vartan's then-husband Johnny Hallyday, but Vartan having had “the privilege” of listening to it first, agreed with the authors that it was more suited to him and appropriated the title. [2]
The song reached the top 10 in France (according to the charts published by the U.S. magazine Billboard in its "Hits of the World" section) [3] [4] [5] and number two in Wallonia (French Belgium). [1]
