Désenchantée was a single released for the first time on the 1991 Quebec-Canadian singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer album L'autre. It reached number one on the French single chart. It was then covered and re-released by Belgian dance-music singer Kate Ryan in 2002. This single version debuted at the top of the Belgian, French and Dutch charts, and stayed at the top for five, four and seven weeks, respectively.
The video for the single features a riot in what appears to be a gulag facility where people and children are subject to forced labor and being treated abysmally by armed guards. The riot scenes are quite realistically shot (though they are black and white) and contain much violent action. The anthem-like song goes well with the visual background.
