The music video of "Cassé" begins with Nolwenn walking towards a studio. While singing, she gets prepared for a photoshoot and then poses in front of a camera with different outfits.

Chart performances edit
"Cassé" was number 1 on the French Singles Charts in its first week of release and stayed at this position for two successive weeks. The single managed to stay in the top 5 for another 4 weeks before dropping very quickly until leaving the chart on 6 July, after 17 weeks of attendance.[2] It was ranked #25 on Annual Chart.[3]
The song may be considered as Nolwenn Leroy's most successful single to date. It was also her first and only single to reach #1 on the French SNEP Singles Charts until "Nolwenn Ohwo!" in 2006.
In Belgium Wallonia, the single went straight to #2 on 29 March 2003, then topped the chart for two weeks. It was then #2 for two weeks and #3 for four weeks. After that, it kept on dropping on the chart and totaled ten weeks in the top ten, and 13 weeks in the top 40.[4] It achieved Gold status[5] and was the ninth best-selling single of the year in this country.[6]
