Zazie's mother was an architect and her father a music teacher. Her songs range from upbeat rock or pop songs to languid downtempo tunes and are characterised by the wit of their lyrics based on puns, alliterations, homophones and double-entendres.
Zazie debuted in 1992 with the album "Je Tu Ils" and the single "Sucré salé".
In 1995, she released her sophomore album Zen, which was co-written and co-produced with Vincent-Marie Bouvot. It included the singles "Zen" and "Homme Sweet Homme". Her 1996 single "Un point c'est toi" from the same album was discussed on Canada's MuchMusic TV program Too Much 4 Much due to its controversial content. Ultimately, the discussion panel deemed the video okay for audiences. In the video, a group of four smitten women, including Zazie, follow a pair of men down to a lake. There, the two men strip off their clothes and swim in the water. Zazie fantasizes about undressing one of the men and kissing him. To shock of the women, however, the two men kiss each other.
In 1997, Pascal Obispo and Zazie released the single "Les Meilleurs Ennemis".
Her 1998 album Made in Love was co-produced by Ali Staton, Pierre Jaconelli, and herself. The album photos were taken by fashion designer Jean-Baptiste Mondino. The songs "Ça Fait Mal Et Ça Fait Rien", "Tous des anges", and "Tout Le Monde" were released as singles. This album was followed by a live album, Made in Live, the next year. In 1999 she also wrote a song for Jane Birkin in Jane Birkin's album .
In 2001, Zazie dueted with Axel Bauer on the single "A Ma Place". It was her most successful single in France, reaching number four on the French charts.
Zazie once again addressed gay content on her 2002 single "Adam et Yves" from her 2001 album La Zizanie. This album was produced solely by Pierre Jaconelli. Other singles included "Rue de la paix" and "Danse avec les loops". In 2003, she released another live album, Ze Live.
Her 2004 album Rodéo was co-produced and co-written with Jean-Pierre Pilot and Philippe Paradis. A short film "Rodéo indien" was made using songs from the album as a soundtrack. Zazie played the role of an Indian woman who leaves her cheating husband. She followed this album up with a live album, Rodéo Tour in 2006.
In 2007 her sixth studio album "Totem" was released and debuted at number 1. The second single (but first commercially released) was "Je Suis Un Homme" which became Zazie's first solo top ten hit in France. In Winter 2008 a best of album "Zest of Zazie" was released which as well as past hits contained two new songs "Fm Air" and "Un peu beaucoup" and live recordings.
Slow
Zazie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que ça finit à chaque fois
A peine on s'enlace
On se lasse déjà
Mais c'est comme ça
On vit trop de vies à la fois
Pourquoi, si c'est pour en arriver là?
Pour peu qu'on s'aime, on se quitte aussitôt
Pour ralentir, il faut danser le slow
Alors, accorde moi
Une dernière chance, une dernière fois
Le temps d'un baiser qui n'en finit pas
Tout va trop vite, on court, on tombe de haut
Pour peu qu'on s'aime, on se quitte aussitôt
Pour ralentir, il faut danser le slow
À peine on parle
On dit le mot de trop
A peine on décolle
Qu'on tombe de haut
Pour atterrir il faut danser le slow
Slow
Sentir encore monter la chaleur
De ton corps contre mon cœur
De ta peur contre ma peur
Poser ma joue sur ton épaule
Encore nos mains qui se frôlent
Encore nos yeux qui se cherchent
Le temps qu'il faut
Pour danser le slow
The song "Slow" by Zazie talks about how relationships seem to end quickly because people are always in a rush.

Zazie asks for one last chance to slow down and enjoy the moment with her partner, to prolong a kiss and savor each other's company. The lyrics suggest that by taking the time to truly appreciate each other and slow down, relationships can be more fulfilling and long-lasting.
Overall, Zazie's "Slow" encourages people to slow down in their lives, appreciate the present moment, and enjoy each other's company without rushing towards the future.
