First of all, after the disastrous results of last decade (not a single song in the top 8), adjustments have been made in the French selection process, keeping in count the number of potential entries from each decade. Here is the new repartition of songs per decade that will apply from now and until further notice:
- Songs from 2010s will be sent to editions xx2, xx4, xx6 and xx8 (the number of potential entries is massive even if the decade is reduced to two years).
- Songs from 2000s will be sent to editions xx1 and xx9.
- Songs from 1990s will be sent to editions xx5.
- Songs from 1980s or 1990s will be sent to editions xx3 and xx7 (pre-2000 editions).
- Songs from before 1980 will be used in editions xx0 if there is an opportunity.
For this new decade, the six first French entries that have been selected are from artists that never appeared before in the contest, and the last three entries are from returning artists.
The first entry of this decade is a collaboration between Ishtar Alabina and Jmi Sissoko. The title of the song is Habibi(Sawah). All the informations about the single can be found here. This is the first French entry in the contest where Arabic is the main language.

Participation rules will not be considered either. For this edition, the eligible songs were those released between the 1st of January and the 8th of February 2012. Our unofficial entry is...
