"Fais ce que tu voudras" (meaning "Do Whatever You Want") is a song written by composer René Grignon and French lyricist Eddy Marnay. It is the first and onlysingle fromCeline Dion's greatest hits albumLes chansons en or. It was released in June 1986 inQuebec, Canada.[1]
On 14 June 1986 this melancholic ballad entered the Quebec Singles Chart and peaked at number 36, spending twelve weeks on the chart.
The B-side included "Tu es là", which was taken from the album,C'est pour toi.
Dion filmed her first real French-language music video for this single in 1986. It was directed byFrançois Girard and featured Dion at a train station. This music video can be found on the DVD calledOn ne change pas (2005). It was Dion's second music video after her first English-language song "Listen to the Magic Man".
The title alludes to the proverb coined by French Renaissance writerFrançois Rabelais, which has later become a main tenet of the modern-daythelemic occult movement in the English version byAleister Crowley: "Do what thou wilt".
