Performances
In this song, Fabian and Maurane sing all the lyrics simultaneously. In the music video, the two singers are performing the song in front of each other, in a room full of mirrors. It deals with the themes of friendship and alter ego.
"Tu es mon autre" was performed many times with many other artists, including Fabian's longtime collaborator Rick Allison (who participated in the song writing and production), during the singer's 2001/2002 tour. Both say to one another before the performance "[...] a song that I wrote for you, and that you wrote for me [...]". The song was thus available in its live version on Live 2002 (2002), En Toute Intimité and Un regard 9 Live (2009). In 2012, Fabian performed the song with Indonesian singer Anggun during a concert special on the MTV Lebanon.[1]
