Cover versions and chart performances

"Qui a le droit..." was overdubbed as a duet in 2004 by Bruel with Ana Torroja (Mecano's member) for the albums Puzzle and the compilation Duos. Bruel also recorded a cover with Zazie, Isabelle Boulay, Corneille, Garou and Jean-Baptiste Maunier for Les Enfoirés' 2005 album Le Train des Enfoirés, also available on the best of La Compil' (vol.3). The children choir named Vox Angeli made also a cover of the song on its 2008 successful eponymous album. Sowatt covered the song in a rock version.

The music video was shot in a live version : Bruel is playing the piano, and for a moment, tens of thousands of spectators perform the song instead of the singer. The song was included on Bruel's albums Plaza de los heroes (1995), Patrick Bruel (2002), S'laisser aimer (triple best of, 2007) and Live - Des souvenirs... ensemble (2007). The singer notably performed "Qui a le droit..." live at the 2008 Telethon in Roubaix.
