She met the \"Dreyer Brothers\" production team and signed a contract with the BMG, a German record label, before scoring the chart with the hit \"My Heart Goes Boom (La Di Da Da)\" in early 2000. The single was a major hit in Europe, peaking within the top 5 in many countries. It was followed by \"Do What You Like\", which also was a successful hit, and a debut album, Desire.\n

2001 saw the release of a new track, \"Sexy\", which also became a considerable hit. The following year the band released \"I Like That\", followed by another big hit: \"Comme ci comme ça\", released in 2003. In 2006, French Affair released their second, all-French album, Rendezvous, promoted by a single \"Symphonie d'amour\". The album featured vocals by Aimee, the band's new vocalist. 2008 saw the release of Belle Epoque, their last album to date.\n
