Ta Main

"Ta Main" (English: "Your Hand") is a 2008 song recorded by French singer-songwriter Grégoire and produced by Franck Authié under My Major Company label. It was the third single from his debut album Toi + Moi and was released in April 2009. It became a hit in Belgium, and in France where it was much aired both on radio and on television.

Background and writing

On 2 April 2009, it was publicly revealed that "Ta Main" would be the third single from the album Toi + Moi.

Grégoire explained that the song was improvised one day on piano when the album was recording, and it seemed obvious to producer Franck Authié and himself to include the song in the track listing. As indicated at the end of the video, the song is dedicated to the two deceased brothers of the singer, named Nicolas and Ludovic. About the writing, Grégoire also said: "Ta Main" was also made to have a double meaning so that a couple can also be appropriated. (...) [People] were saying at first that I had certainly written for a girlfriend but that they took it for their grandfather who had just passed away, a friend died... (...) I had the idea that the song is fairly general and that everyone finds his story. I did not ultimately impose mine and people have themselves taken in the first sense. It's very moving. I learned that this song is much aired at funerals."
