Alizée made her debut with the single "Moi... Lolita", her most successful to date. It enjoyed success throughout most of Europe and parts of East Asia, reaching number one in several countries. The official music video showed Alizée as a village girl visiting a night-club.[12] The song was later used in the UK trailer of the 2006 film, A Good Year, and was a part of the film's soundtrack.The single was from her debut album, Gourmandises ("Delicacies"), released in 2000.[13] The album, written by Farmer and composed by Boutonnat, sold over 788,000 copies in France – it reached Platinum status in just three months. In 2001, the album was launched internationally and Alizée became the highest-selling female French singer ever.[3][14] The album went on to sell over two million copies worldwide.[15] Farmer and Boutonnat kept a tight rein how the album was marketed and controlled the image in which Alizée was portrayed. In the meantime, Alizée gave very few interviews, and even when she did, they did not stretch beyond 20 minutes per journalist. Neither did she agree to any photoshoots.[3]
Her second single "L'Alizé" (2000), also from the same album, followed soon after. It was also successful in hitting number one in France, and gained some success internationally. The video of the "sexily alliterative"[3] song shows Alizée amidst soap bubbles against a pink backdrop singing about herself. The video was shot in a studio in Brussels, which had a 25 metre by 10 metre painted canvas to serve as the background, with real bubbles.[12] This single was followed up with another single from the same album – the title song, "Gourmandises". The video, which shows a group of young boys and girls out on a picnic, was shot in a day.[12] The last single from this album was "Parler tout bas", which deals with the theme of dreams and a loss of innocence. In France, "Parler tout bas" was the third single, then followed by the release of "Gourmandises".
