Christophe spent most of his life in Deuil-la-Barre (Val-d'Oise), where his parents run a driving school. As a child, he learned figure skating and to play the piano. Later he learned to sing as part of a gospel choir "Young Voices". He also was composing songs at the age of fourteen.
Before deciding to study to become an economics and management professor, he continued to practice music and in 2004 he appeared in a Richard Anconina film, Alive, where he played the role of Henri, a young man with a golden voice who is, nevertheless, not considered suitable for the lead role in a musical. Since his film career did not continue after this, he returned to university, where he studied communication while working a number of part-time jobs, such as babysitting and helping in a theater.

Pushed by his family and friends, he decided to try out for the 2006 edition of Nouvelle Star. With an initial audition performance of Strong Enough by Des'ree, he surprised the judges, who did not expect such a quality voice from an admittedly ungainly-looking man. Nicknamed "La Tortue" (The Turtle) by Nouvelle Star judge Marianne James, he proved to be a popular contestant, and on June 8th, was crowned the fourth Nouvelle Star.
He has stated that he would like to record a duet on his debut album with second-place finalist Dominique Michalon.[citation needed]
He joined artists such as Tears for Fears, Lara Fabian, and Murray Head on the Night of the Proms tour 2007.
His debut album "Inventaire" was released on April 16th, 2007, while the first single, "Elu Produit De L'annee" premiered in March. the album "Inventaire" debuted at #1 on the french charts and has already sold more than 363 000 (double platinum)

Heartbreaker
Christophe Willem Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me cryin' like I thought I would never be
Love is believin' but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around and I

Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter what ever you do

I made a life out of lovin' you
Only to find any dream that I follow is dying, I'm cryin' in the rain
I could be searchin' my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain, when will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew?
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under my love for you
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
This world may end, not you and I

My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin' for you and that can not be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin' me
Out of my mind, I am held by the power of you love
Tell me, when do we try or should we say goodbye?

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by

Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted my love for you, oh...
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?

When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Christophe Willem's "Heartbreaker" are a haunting meditation on a love that was built to last but ultimately crumbled. The singer is heartbroken, betrayed, and struggling to come to terms with a love that was once so strong that it seemed like nothing could ever tear it apart. He feels lost and adrift in a world without his lover, unable to make sense of how things fell apart so quickly. He is tormented by thoughts of what he could have done differently and overwhelmed by feelings of pain and regret.

Throughout "Heartbreaker," the singer questions his own feelings and those of his lover. He wonders why he was so vulnerable to someone who seemed to care so little for his feelings. He also questions whether love is really worth the pain and suffering that come with it. In the end, however, he realizes that his love is still strong despite everything that has happened, and that he must move on if he is ever to find happiness again.
