"J'ai tout oublié" is a 2001 recorded as a duet by the French artist Marc Lavoine and the Italian singer Cristina Marocco. The song was released on November 19, 2001, as the second single from Lavoine's eighth album, just entitled Marc Lavoine. It reached number one on the French Single Chart, thus becoming to date the most successful single of the singer in France.

The song was written by Marc Lavoine and the music composed by Georges Lunghini, Elsa's father. This song allowed Lavoine to take up with the success, because its previous single failed to reach Top 50. "J'ai tout oublié" was much aired on many radios such as NRJ.[1]
