"Yesterday Yes a Day" is a song sung by Jane Birkin, a French-British singer, actress, and cultural icon known for her unique voice and stylish influence. Released in the early 1977, this song was composed by Serge Gainsbourg, who was Birkin's partner and a famous French singer-songwriter.
Gainsbourg's poetic and sometimes cryptic lyrics pair beautifully with Birkin’s soft, breathy vocal style, adding an emotional depth that has made it memorable for fans.
Though not as widely known internationally as their hit "Je t’aime… moi non plus," "Yesterday Yes a Day" showcases Birkin and Gainsbourg’s artistic synergy and remains a cherished track among fans of classic French music and their collaboration. The song is part of Birkin's album Di Doo Dah (1973) which was one of her early works and helped to establish her solo music career.
