Song information
"Chinese Walk" is an uptempo electropop song written by Marin du Halgouët, arranged by Gaël Brusseleers, and produced by Steve Campioni and Alain Mendiburu. The lyrics, written by Amanda Lear in collaboration with Marin du Halgouët, tell about the growing influence of Chinese culture and make references to China's vast population. The track was recorded and mixed in Studio Entouka in Paris, and mastered by David Hadzis in Studio Arthanor in Geneva.
The song was released in April 2011 as the first single from Amanda's then-forthcoming album I Don't Like Disco. It was met with positive reception with some reviewers seeing it as a sequel to Lear's 70s disco hit "Queen of Chinatown". Although the song did not enter mainstream music charts, it did chart on DJ lists in France and Germany.
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Thibault Guérin. It presents topless Amanda and drops of black liquid falling down on her, drawing patterns on her naked body. The singer is then transformer into a Chinese woman, complete with a kimono, straight black hair and an oil-paper umbrella.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Chinese Walk” as 2011 single by Amanda Lear. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2011 single by Amanda Lear. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5100679. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation.
