The song was also a hit in Australia, Netherlands, Germany & Belgium. And featured in Stella McCartney's fashion show in Paris. While she's nominated for a César Award in 2010 after started her acting career in 2002

Catching Point : Her shooting voice bring a fresh air when she actually sings a folkrock. Most of her songs are sing in English and bear a rather cute/ironic/a lil'bit wild lyrics to her songs. She writes about her being totally vegan, wild, unpredictable and half of any kind :p As a live performer, she is unpredictable and never utilises a set list. She sometimes plays up to 3 hours by herself, in intimate and quiet venues.On January 19, 2009 Soko stated on her MySpace page that she was quitting music and is 'dead', writing that she was scared of the music industry and wanted to return to acting. In August of the same year, she declared that she was 'reborn' and writing songs such as "I'm So Ready To Be A Good Man" where she writes: "in my battle with the demons I just had to die coz they're way too evil and I couldn't fight". She later referred to the pressure of the music industry, before declaring that she was "having a new heart and being ready to be a new man".
