Very early on, Stéphane was fascinated by different kinds of music, listening to pop, rock and new wave. The real trigger happened in the late 80s, when he discovered house. One day in 1997 in Paris, when he was already a fairly famous DJ, he met up with Jean-Louis Costes, who asked him to mix music at his hotel restaurant. Very soon they had the idea of a compilation which could spread worldwide the spirit of the Hôtel Costes, this mythic glamorous place. The first compilation quickly became an undeniable reference. Over a dozen more successful and intense compilations followed.
Then he was asked to deejay everywhere in the world by haute couture designers such as Gucci, actresses like Cameron Diaz, and eventually remixed "What It Feels Like for a Girl" for Madonna… Yet Stéphane Pompougnac is not only a DJ - he is also an accomplished musician, composing and producing his own songs, which he proved in 2003 with the release of his first album Living On The Edge that featured several talented artists, notably Michael Stipe from REM. Today, Stéphane Pompougnac remains one of the most recognized DJs in the world.
Pompougnac released his second album Hello Mademoiselle in early 2006 after his eighth Hôtel Costes compilation.

Stéphane Pompougnac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby you felt this way
Now I don't know what to do
'Coz I'm still in love with you
And after all I have done
Can you tell me what's
Goin' on
Why you want to treat me so cold
Guess I was a fool for loving you
Guess I was a fool for thinking that you were loving me too
Should've knew
You were breaking my heart in two
Feel like I'm losing my mind
Just a fool to think your love could be kind
My heart aches so, so hard to let you go
And I don't know
Which way to go
Standing here all alone
With no one to call my own
Girl look what you've done to me
Yeah you've hurt me
Got me living in misery
Guess I was a fool for loving you
Guess I was a fool for thinking you were loving me too
Should've knew
You were breaking my heart in two
And I guess I was a fool for needing you
I guess I was a fool for thinking you were needing me too
Should've knew
'Bout the things you were taking me through
And girl my heart
Can't take this pain
There's nothing left to say
Sorry it had to be this way
But yet still I feel
You weren't keeping it real
Girl why did you lie to me
Guess I was a fool for loving you
Guess I was a fool for thinking you were loving me too
Should've knew
You were breaking my heart in two
And I guess I was a fool for needing you
And I guess I was a foll for thinking you were needing me too
Should've knew
'Bout the things you were taking me through

Wish I had of known
I wish I had known the truth of your feelings earlier
Baby you felt this way
That you had such feelings for me
Now I don't know what to do
I am now confused about what decision to make
'Coz I'm still in love with you
Because I am still deeply in love with you
And after all I have done
Despite everything I have done for you
Can you tell me what's
Please tell me what is really
Goin' on
Happening
I can't understand
I cannot comprehend
Why you want to treat me so cold
The reason you want to treat me so coldly
Guess I was a fool for loving you
I now understand that I was foolish for loving you
Guess I was a fool for thinking that you were loving me too
I was wrong to assume that you loved me too
Should've knew
I should have known
You were breaking my heart in two
You were causing my heart to ache and feel broken
Feel like I'm losing my mind
I feel like I am going crazy
Just a fool to think your love could be kind
I was naive to think that your love would be gentle
My heart aches so, so hard to let you go
My heart hurts so much, it is difficult to move on
And I don't know
I am uncertain
Which way to go
Which decision to make
Standing here all alone
I am standing here by myself
With no one to call my own
I have nobody to call my own
Girl look what you've done to me
You have caused this pain and misery I feel
Yeah you've hurt me
You have caused me great pain
Got me living in misery
I am living in a state of sadness and unhappiness
And girl my heart
My heart
Can't take this pain
Cannot bear this pain
There's nothing left to say
There are no words left to be spoken
Sorry it had to be this way
I am regretful that it ended this way
But yet still I feel
Yet, I still feel
You weren't keeping it real
You were not being truthful with me
Girl why did you lie to me
Why did you deceive me
And I guess I was a fool for needing you
I was mistaken to require your love
And I guess I was a foll for thinking you were needing me too
I was naive to assume that you needed my love
Should've knew
I should have known
'Bout the things you were taking me through
The experiences you were subjecting me to
