Ceux qu'on était - Pierre Garnier (Star Academy) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Ceux qu'on était" is the debut single by French singer Pierre Garnier, who won the reality singing competition Star Academy 2023. It was written by Pierre Garnier alongside DAYSY and Joseph Kamel, and produced by MARSO. Just like its title suggests, "Ceux qu'on était" ("What We Were") documents the aftermath of a failed romantic relationship. Its narrator, though brokenhearted, claims that despite all of the pain and suffering, he will remember all of the good things they lived together. The bittersweet instrumental is a fitting backdrop for Pierre Garnier's tale of loss and acceptance, featuring synths, piano, acoustic guitar, and subtle percussion. Released on March 27, 2024, "Ceux qu'on était" accumulated over 10,5 million hits on streaming platforms in just nine days, confirming the Star Academy winner's star power. The single was released alongside an acoustic version and a piano version.
