About The Song
“It Must Be Him” was written by Gilbert Bécaud and originally performed in French with lyrics by Maurice Vidalin. The English version of the song was recorded by Vikki Carr, who brought it to international fame in the late 1960s. The song reached the top of the charts in Australia and was a big hit in the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other countries.
The song is a poignant expression of the turmoil and heartbreak experienced by the protagonist, who is deeply in love with someone but is unsure if they reciprocate those feelings. The lyrics are full of emotion and honesty, and Carr’s delivery is nothing short of stunning. The song’s emotive vocals, coupled with the Ernie Freeman arrangement, make it a timeless classic.
