In November 1967, Claude François released this emotional song about a couple growing apart, not suspecting that Comme d'habitude would become an international hit, thanks largely to its English cover, "My Way," written by Paul Anka and popularised by Frank Sinatra. To date, Comme d'habitude has been covered 1327 times by more than 570 artists and remains the most exported French song of all time.
