Background
In the movie, Elsa portrayed Jane Birkin's daughter and played the piano in a short scene. Finally, a whole song has been composed by Romano Musumarra who decided to release it as a single. Musumarra has already worked and helped producing hits for 80's famous French artists Jeanne Mas ("En Rouge et Noir") and Princess Stephanie of Monaco ("Ouragan").
"T'en va pas" was a huge hit in France, and managed to export itself across Europe with an English recording : "Papa, Please Don't Go". This is also well known in Japan because it was used for Jeans TV commercial. Also in Japan, Tite Kubo used the song as the image song for the character Orihime Inoue from Bleach. It also has been used as the image song for the character Yumisuka Satsuki from Tsukihime. In 2008 the song has been used in television commercials for Impulse brand deodorant in Argentina. The song was available in French-language and in English-language on the best of Elsa, l'essentiel 1986-1993.
The music video shows images from the movie alterning with Elsa performing the song.
In the mid-2000s, the song was covered in a live version by Priscilla on the TV show Absolument 80 broadcast on M6.
