"7 Seconds" is a song composed by Youssou N'Dour, Neneh Cherry, Cameron McVey and Jonathan Sharp. It was released in 1994 as a single performed by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry. It achieved much success, reaching the top chart position in numerous countries. It also won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song of 1994.[3]

Recording

All instruments on the single were produced and arranged by Swedish music producer Christian Falk, who also played bass on the track.[2] It was included on Neneh Cherry's album Man (1996). The song is trilingual as N'Dour sings in 3 languages: French, English and the West African language Wolof. Cherry sings only in English.[4] The song also appeared on N'Dour's album The Guide (Wommat), released shortly after the single.

The title and refrain of the song refers to the first moments of a child's life; as Cherry put it, "not knowing about the problems and violence in our world".[5]

Music video

The black and white music video was directed by Stéphane Sednaoui.[6] It features people of different ethnicities walking by while the two are singing. When they sing the chorus, different kinds of people's faces appear.

Chart performance

7 Seconds reached the top three in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Sweden, Portugal, Germany, The Netherlands, Australia, Russia and Poland, and climbed to the top position in France, Switzerland, Finland, Iceland and Italy. It stayed at No. 1 for 16 consecutive weeks on the French Singles Chart,[7] which was the record for the most weeks at the top at the time. The single also remained at the top position on the Italian Singles Chart for nine consecutive weeks in the autumn of that year.[8]
