Lyrics and music video

The song was written by Bertrand Châtenet, and the music was composed and arranged by Philippe Osman. Jérôme Devoise participated in the mixing of the song, with Bertrand Châtenet (both had worked with Mylène Farmer in the 1980s). Background vocals are performed by Priscilla.

In the song, Priscilla says that she likes to make herself conspicuous and that for this she does not hesitate to do something unusual. The music video shows Priscilla accompanied by a female friend in a fast-food restaurant, where she knocks over a young boy on a skateboard during the first verse, then a waitress during the second verse. When she sings the refrain, she performs a choreography with other girls.

The song is included on many French compilations, such as Girls 2003,[1] Non Stop Hits 5.[2] and Generation Hits. On 28 December 2011, Priscilla performed a slow version on her song on the show Les annees 2000 : le retour !, broadcast on M6.
