"Maldòn" is a 1989 song recorded by the Guadelupian band Zouk Machine. Written and produced by Guy Houllier and Yves Honoré, the song is the first single from the album of the same name, and was released in May 1990. In France, it achieved a huge success, topping the singles charts for nine weeks.

Chart performances and cover versions

In France, it debuted on 26 May 1990 at number 40 on the French Singles Chart and reached number one four weeks later. It stayed seven weeks at this position, then dropped to number two, being dislodged by Charles D. Lewis's summer hit "Soca Dance". However, after spending six weeks at number two, it regained number one for other two weeks, then almost did not stop to fall and fell off the top 50 after 27 weeks, on 1 December. It was the number-one single of the year in France.

The song was notably covered in a live performance by French actress and singer Valérie Lemercier at the 2007 César Awards ceremony. It was also covered by Jenifer Bartoli, Sandrine Kiberlain and Natasha St-Pier for Les Enfoirés' 2006 album Le Village des Enfoirés and included in a medley named "Medley Vie quotidienne".
