Françoise Hardy signed her first contract with the record label Vogue in November 1961. In April 1962, shortly after finishing school, her first record Oh Oh Chéri appeared, written by Johnny Hallyday's writing duo. Her own flip side of the record, "Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles" became a success, riding the wave of Yé-yé music in France, with two million sales.
Hardy sang in French, English, Italian, Spanish, and German. In 1963 she came fifth for Monaco in the Eurovision Song Contest with "L'amour s'en va". In 1963, she was awarded the Grand Prix Du Disque of the Charles Cros Academy.
In 1981, she married her long-time companion Jacques Dutronc, with whom she had had a son, Thomas Dutronc, in 1973. In 1994, she collaborated with the British pop group Blur for their "La Comedie" version of To The End. In May 2000, she made a comeback with the album Clair Obscur. Her son played guitar and her husband sang the duet "Puisque Vous Partez En Voyage." Iggy Pop and Étienne Daho also took part. Hardy lives near Paris and Dutronc lives in Monticello, Corsica, although they remain a couple.[citation needed]

Francoise Hardy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh oh
Il est tout pour moi
Je suis tout pour lui
Et ca durera
Toute notre vie
N'aimer qu'une fois
Oui, oui, oui, oui
Il a ses défauts
Et moi, j'ai les miens
Mais on fait ce qu'il faut
Et on s'entend bien
Il est tout pour moi
Loin l'un de l'autre, nous ne sommes rien
Les jours auront beau passer
Notre amour est tellement fort
Qu'il ne pourra se briser
Oui, il durera encore
Les jours auront beau passer
Notre amour est tellement fort
Qu'il ne pourra se briser
Oui, il durera encore
etre dans ses bras
Le jour et la nuit,
Entendre sa voix
Ne penser qu'à lui,
Voilà mon bonheur
Car il est la joie de mon cœur
Il a ses défauts
Et moi, j'ai les miens
Mais on fait ce qu'il faut
Et on s'entend bien
Il est tout pour moi
Loin l'un de l'autre, nous ne sommes rien
Oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah

The lyrics to Françoise Hardy's "Il est tout pour moi" describe a relationship of mutual adoration and commitment. The singer declares that the person they are with is "everything" to them, and that they are "everything" to this person in return. They promise that their love will endure for their entire lives, and they express their belief that it is still possible to love only once in today's world. The lyrics acknowledge that both partners have flaws, but they work through them and get along well, understanding that they are each other's world. The chorus repeats that their love is so strong that it cannot be broken, even as time passes and the days go by. The singer describes the comfort and happiness of being in their partner's arms, hearing their voice, and thinking only of them. The song concludes with another repetition of the chorus and an ad lib of joyful sounds.
The lyrics of this song are simple and concise, yet they convey a deep sense of loyalty and devotion. The singer's love is all-encompassing and unwavering, and they are confident that it will last a lifetime. The lyrics also acknowledge that no relationship is perfect, but that with commitment and effort, it is possible to make it work. The refrain of the song, with its repetition of "oh" and "yeah," contributes to the joyful and exuberant tone of the song, emphasizing the singer's happiness and contentment.
