Love Story is a song by French singer-songwriter Indila, released on October 27, 2014, as the fifth and final single from her debut studio album, Mini World. The track was written and produced by Indila in collaboration with Skalpovich and released under Capitol Records and AZ.
The song, performed in French, explores themes of romance and emotional connection, aligning with its title. While it did not match the commercial success of earlier singles from the album, such as “Dernière danse” or “Tourner dans le vide,” it found chart placements in France and Belgium, reaching number 57 in France and number 48 in Belgium (Wallonia).
Years after its initial release, “Love Story” experienced a resurgence in popularity, particularly on the social media platform TikTok, where users incorporated the track into various video trends. This renewed interest contributed to the song’s enduring presence online.
The official music video for “Love Story,” directed by Karim Ouaret and filmed in Iceland, premiered on YouTube on November 17, 2014. It serves as a narrative continuation of the video for Indila’s previous single, “S.O.S.” The video features symbolic imagery, including scenes of an elderly man visiting his wife’s grave, a child sitting on a bed, and Indila performing on a block of ice. As of April 2026, the YouTube video has accumulated over 483 million views.
In 2025, the song was sampled in “What You Saying” by American rapper Lil Uzi Vert, further extending its cultural reach beyond its original release.
Indila, whose real name is Adila Sedraïa, is known for her distinctive blend of pop, soul, and French chanson influences. Mini World, the album featuring “Love Story,” was released in February 2014 and achieved significant success in France and other European markets, earning multi-platinum certifications.
Though not one of her most commercially dominant singles, “Love Story” remains a notable part of Indila’s discography, recognized for its melodic composition, emotive lyrics, and lasting impact through digital rediscovery and cross-genre sampling.
