"Il venait d'avoir 18 ans" is a French song by Dalida performed in 1973-74 and written by Pascal Sevran, Serge Lebrail and Pascal Auriat. This is also the fifth and final single from the album Julien…, released in 1973.
This was one of the biggest worldwide hits of 1974 (No. 1 in nine countries, including Germany, where she sold nearly 3.5 million copies), the Prize of the Academy of French record in 1975, six gold albums in 1974, the Oscar success of the global disk (with Gigi l'amoroso) in 1975 and presented at a Musicorama at the Olympia in Paris in the same year.
The song was recorded in five languages – German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and English (in 1978), benefiting from a single output for each.
The song, which was not originally intended to Dalida, has been proposed as a last resort by the authors when she refused other songs imposed to her.
