"C'est toi qui m'as fait" is a 1989 song recorded by French singer François Feldman. Written by Jean-Marie Moreau, Thierry Durbet and Feldman, it was released in April 1990 as the third single from the album Une Présence (1989), on which it appears as the eighth track. It achieved a commercial success, becoming Feldman's successive third top two hit from the album.

Lyrics

Lyrically, "C'est toi qui m'as fait" is a tribute to Feldman's mother, referring to her as the person who "built" and "created" him, and his father, who expected for a daughter when his wife was pregnant.[1]

Versions

"C'est toi qui m'as fait" was included on Feldman's three best of, in a remixed version: first on Two Feldman (1996) on which it appears as the fourth track on the first CD, then on Best Feldman (1998) as the third track, last on Gold (2008) as the fourth track. It was also performed during Feldman's 1991 tour and thus included on the live album Feldman à Bercy (1992).
