Charlotte Cardin has debuted her new French-language single “Tant pis pour elle” at No. 28 on the Billboard Canada AC Airplay chart dated November 8. Co-written with Jason Brando and Ellie Blondeau, the track marks a confident return to French for the Montreal-born artist following the success of her 2023 album 99 Nights.

While Cardin is best known internationally for her English-language releases, her return to French feels deliberate rather than nostalgic. After 99 Nights peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s Canadian Albums chart, she expressed a renewed desire to explore French songwriting while maintaining her bilingual identity.
That approach was already evident on her francophone EP Une semaine à Paris, which included the bilingual track “Feel Good.” The song charted on the Canadian Hot 100 and gained viral traction across Europe, reinforcing Cardin’s ability to move seamlessly between languages and markets.
