"Libertine" (French pronunciation: [libɛʁtin]) is a 1986 song recorded by French artist Mylène Farmer. It was the third single from her first studio album Cendres de lune and was released on 1 April 1986 and met success on the French chart, becoming Farmer's first big hit. The long form music video, produced as a short film, contains explicitly sexual and violent scenes. In 2002, the song was successfully covered by Belgian singer Kate Ryan, who reached the top 20 in several European countries. The song was inspired by a rock music song, "L'Amour Tutti Frutti", composed in 1984 by Jean-Claude Déquéant. It had not achieved success at the time, but was appreciated by the duo Farmer/Boutonnat who wanted to record it. Although it is one of the few songs for which she didn't write the lyrics, Farmer can be credited with the origin of the song, because when she was doing a demo take, she repeated "Je suis une catin" ("I am a whore"), which inspired Boutonnat. Two covers were released. The first, in April, shows a dark-haired Farmer wearing an orange robe; and the second, in June, using an image from the videoclip with a red-haired Farmer with a pistol in her hand. The song became a hit, fortunately, because their label, Polydor, could at any time end her contract for two albums if the song had not been successful.
