'Can't Speak
French' is the third and final single to be uplifted from 4th studio album
'Tangled Up' and their 18th single in total.
This single was given a brand new radio edit for release, freshly
remixed by Jeremy Wheatley, and is 45 seconds shorter than the album
version. It is this radio edit that can be heard on the official
music video.
The music video for 'Can't Speak French' is heavily inspired by
Marie Antoinette, and aired on music channels from 13th February
2008. The video was filmed in January, just days after allegations
regarding the infidelity of Cheryl's husband Ashley Cole, hit the
tabloids.
The album version of the song was available to download as soon as
the single started promotion, and thus contributed to 'Can't Speak
French' charting weeks before the physical CDs were released. It is
this album version that contributes to most of its success
digitally, peaking at #11 on the iTunes Top Songs chart. The Radio
Edit was released on 14th March 2008, but had little impact on
iTunes, only making the lower regions of the iTunes Pop chart.
'Can't Speak French' was released on 2 CDs on 17th March 2008, its
formats notably featuring a French version titled 'Je Ne Parle Pas
Français', a tongue in cheek B Side 'Hoxton Heroes' and a cover of
Robyn's #1 single 'With Every Heartbeat' performed on Radio 1's Live
Lounge in 2007.
Despite peaking at #9, their joint lowest position with 'See The Day',
it is actually their 8th best selling single, selling around 145,000 copies to date. |
