Music video

The music video for the song contains footage taken from live performances of Gigi D'Agostino performing throughout Europe at rave parties. The version used in the music video is the "Small Mix".

  • Finnish Big Brother contestant Tero Savikuja mentioned "L'amour toujours" as his favorite song when he attended the TV show, and it was played several times in the Big Brother house during that season. There's also a locally popular Finnish version of the song on YouTube called "Seppo on bi", which translates as "Seppo is a bisexual". The name probably derives from its rhythmical uniformity with the song's distinctive synthesizer riff.
  • Gigi D'Agostino is credited in "Fly With U", a song by Far East Movement from their album Dirty Bass, which contains some elements of the song "L'amour toujours".
  • The instrumental of this song is heavily sampled on "Dream on the Dancefloor" by Basshunter, featured in his album Calling Time.
  • In September 2015, Tiësto released a new edit of "L'amour toujours" performed by Dzeko & Torres, featuring vocals by Delaney Jane.
