Sophie-Tith is the third of a family of three daughters. She was born in Ambilly and grew up in a house in Ville-la-Grand, a town in the northern suburbs of Annemasse in Haute-Savoie. The second part of her name is Laotian for origin and reason, human feeling, or alternatively Tith pronounced teat means "small". She attended Pottières kindergarten, then the Centre elementary school and Paul Langevin middle school. She then went to Jean Monnet high school in Vétraz-Monthoux, specialising in economics and science. Having repeated a year because of the heavy workload imposed on her by La Nouvelle Star, and the preparation of her first album, she obtained her baccalaureate in 2015. She continued her studies at the Condé school in Paris.
She fell in love with music at the age of 7 and learned the saxophone and music theory. But gradually, she turned to rock music. With four friends, she founded the group Asmoday , an indie rock quintet who were an opening act for Rage Against The Marmots. Sophie-Tith eventually left the girl band She stopped studying music theory and saxophone at the age of 14 to focus on her schooling, but at high school, when she was 16, she and her friends founded the group Nova which had 5 members with Sophie on vocals.
In 2013 she took part in the talent show Nouvelle Star which she won on February 26, in a public vote against runner-up Florian Bertonnier. She won an album contract with Polydor First Encounters, a cover album produced in part by Sinclair, was released in 2013. On October 7, 2013, Aldebert's album Enfantillages 2 featuring Sophie-Tith was released. She sang a duet with him on the song Little angels.
On February 20, 2014, she made an appearance on the set of La Nouvelle Star, for a duet with the two finalists, Mathieu and Isolde. In April 2014 she released her second album I like it that contains a duet with Corson The album was co-written with the singers of BB Brunes and Skip the Use. Its sales were modest.
Sophie-Tith signed up for the show a week after her 16th birthday. She went to castings in Lyon and got 4 yes votes from the panel (André Manoukian, Sinclair, Maurane and Olivier Bas), letting her travel to Paris for the next round. She reached the round for singing in trios with a version of Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra. She then performed It vexes me by Mademoiselle K for the orchestral playback round. But the choice was difficult for the judges who decided to set up a final test in a sudden death round. Sophie sang Mad World by Tears for Fears. She was one of 10 candidates selected for the live performance. To date, she is the youngest winner of La Nouvelle Star.
Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
Sophie-Tith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What have I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there?
What have I got to do to make you want me?
What have I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word?
It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me that sorry seems to be the hardest word.
What do I do to make you love me?
What have I got to do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What have I got to do, what have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word?
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me that sorry seems to be the hardest word.
Yes, the hardest word.
In Sophie-Tith's rendition of Elton John's Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word, the lyrics express the pain and frustration of a lover who is desperately trying to win back the affection of their partner. They are questioning themselves relentlessly, asking what they have to do to make the other person love them, care about them, want them, and listen to them. They feel lost and helpless, unable to handle the overwhelming feeling of abandonment that came with the realization that their partner is no longer there. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's sad, so sad" three times, emphasizing the heartbreaking nature of the situation. The words "getting more and more absurd" paint a bleak picture of the situation, which adds to the melancholic mood of the song. The final lines, "Oh, it seems to me that sorry seems to be the hardest word", drive home the central sentiment of the song. Although the singer recognizes that admitting they made mistakes and apologizing is the right thing to do, they struggle with it and find it difficult to express their remorse.

Une reprise très belle, avec une voix magnifique! Si tu crée tes propres chansons, Je serais au rendez-vous pour les écouter.
@bibimango2245
une voix étonnamment mature, fluide et maitrisée surtout pour quelqu’un de si jeune...un vrai talent !
@MCwicka
I actually like this cover. I can't say that it is better then original. Woman voice gave this cover all new feeling. It's like listening to different song. I give thumbs up.
@maellestanvideos6750
Les nombreuses versions lives de ce titre que l'on peut aussi voir sur YT restent toutefois pour moi les meilleurs. Et son talent n'a pas attendu la NS pour exister. En entrant "Sophie-Tith Charvet - "Born to Die" Cover" dans la barre de recherche Youtube on peut écouter un petit cover enregistré à l'age de 15 ans. Tout simplement divin
