This song was performed by Lucienne Boyer, a prominent figure in French music from the 1930s to the 1950s. She was known for her soft, emotional voice and for popularizing romantic songs that evoked tender and nostalgic memories of first love. "C'était mon premier amoureux" is an iconic song from that era, published in 1941 by Salabert Editions, with music composed by Georges Van Parys and lyrics by Mireille Brocey.

It is said that Lucienne Boyer, who was married to the famous singer Jacques Pills, often sang this song while thinking of their first meeting. She once said that the melody reminded her of the thrills of her earliest romantic feelings, long before fame.

Although he is best known for his illustrations in books and newspapers, Chas-Laborde also created artwork for sheet music covers, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s. His style is recognizable by its lively lines, urban scenes, and expressive characters. He brought a vivid atmosphere to each cover, often infused with humor or melancholy that echoed the mood of the music. His illustrations didn’t merely decorate—they staged the song visually, offering a narrative parallel to the melody. With his keen eye for detail, he captured gestures, glances, and the ambiance of Parisian life with remarkable finesse, making each piece a small theatrical tableau.
