Marilou developed interest in the musical world starting at the age of eight when she started dance, music and theater courses. Her first show was made in several of several hundreds of spectators at an annual concert show. She was first discovered in 2001, when she sang a duet with Natasha St-Pier in a Quebec show called Stars à domicile.
Her career started in 2002 when she had her first single Je serai la pour toi in a duo with Canadian Gino Quilico who is the french version of the cover There For Me singing in the original version by Sarah Brightman in duet with José Cura and signed with the Sony label in 2004 before going on a tour opening for Garou.
In 2005, she released at the age of 15 her debut La fille qui chante in which one of the singles includes a duet with Garou. Also, René Angélil, who also manages Celine Dion became her manager. After several concerts and promotions Marilou played in Luc Plamondon's musical comedy Notre-Dame-de-Paris. She started her first own music tour in 2006 while continuing with her high school studies.
In 2007, her self-titled second album was released with the most notable song being Danser sur la lune which includes also a non-Canadian version duet with Merwan Rim. A European version of the album was also released a few months after the Canadian date release. Later in the year, she made her Tout simplement Marilou province wide tour.

Marilou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai déjà vécu à sa place
Je le comprendrais de ne pas vouloir partir
J'ai déjà gouté au même espace
J'ai même souvent voulu y revenir
Mais moi je n'ai pas voulu détruire
Voler ta peau et t'affaiblir
Tu partages ton corps avec un bout de mal
Bien plus petit que ton âme et pourtant si grand
Je voudrais lui crier que tu es déjà un ange
De s'en aller pas besoin d'un voyage
Mais il ne m'entend pas et te pousse au combat
J'ai eu froid le jour où je suis sortie
Je le comprendrais de ne pas vouloir partir
Je le comprendrais je le déteste à mourir
Je voudrais le tuer pour te laisser vivre
In the song "Tu partages ton corps" by Marilou, the artist discusses the experience of watching a loved one battle an illness or addiction. She sings about having empathy for that person and understanding why they may not want to leave their current state because she has been in their shoes herself. Marilou acknowledges the struggle that comes with sharing one's body with something harmful, something that may feel like an intruder and wishes that she could scream at the illness to leave her loved one alone. She recognizes the powerlessness of her situation, but still feels an immense desire to fight for her loved one's life.
The lyrics of the song are incredibly emotive, describing a difficult and painful time in Marilou's life. The use of "tu" in the song emphasizes the direct address to the loved one which highlights the depth of care Marilou feels towards them. The metaphor of sharing one's body with the illness highlights the difficulty of the situation and the intrusion of something unwanted into the person's life. Overall, Marilou's song is a touching and moving exploration of the pain that accompanies watching someone you love struggle and suffer.

J'ai déjà vécu à sa place
I have been in a similar situation
Je le comprendrais de ne pas vouloir partir
I understand if you don't want to leave
J'ai déjà gouté au même espace
I have experienced the same feeling
J'ai même souvent voulu y revenir
I have even wanted to go back to that place
Mais moi je n'ai pas voulu détruire
But I didn't want to destroy
Voler ta peau et t'affaiblir
Steal your skin and weaken you
Tu partages ton corps avec un bout de mal
You share your body with a piece of evil
Un étranger qui prend tout au passage
A stranger who takes everything in passing
Bien plus petit que ton âme et pourtant si grand
Much smaller than your soul but still so big
Je voudrais lui crier que tu es déjà un ange
I want to scream to him that you are already an angel
De s'en aller pas besoin d'un voyage
There's no need to go on a journey to leave
Mais il ne m'entend pas et te pousse au combat
But he doesn't listen to me and encourages you to fight
J'ai eu froid le jour où je suis sortie
I felt cold the day I left
Je le comprendrais de ne pas vouloir partir
I understand if you don't want to leave
Je le comprendrais je le déteste à mourir
I understand him but I hate him to death
Je voudrais le tuer pour te laisser vivre
I want to kill him to let you live
