The music video

Director : Laurent Boutonnat
Duration : 4'05''

Of all the music videos, this one is with no contest the most accomplished, the most interesting and, we risk telling that, the most adult. Shooted totally outdoor, it needed two days of shooting next to Senlis, in the Oise.
We can see Alizée between two worlds : in her bedroom, and at the same time outside. As if informing (one more time !) that she is evolving somewhere between childhood and adults' world. Several reasons explain that fact : she is a teenager, so she is between the two states, but she is also a young woman who lives with adults in Paris and is back to his teenage life in Corsica. In the music video, her child bedroom doesn't have a proud look. It looks more like a toy cemetary than a page of a catalog Ikea for a model family.
Moreover, in this rainy day, Alizée decides to go burry officially his teddy bear and, with it, a part of her childhood. The reason : the handsome hunk who chased after her in the music video of "Moi... Lolita". With him, the young woman feel like becoming a woman. But passing the mark is so difficult ! Moreover, even when she embrace her lover, her dolls aren't far and keep watching over her.

The song

Lyrics : Mylène Farmer
Music : Laurent Boutonnat
Duration : 4'35''

Like in the huge majority of the songs that Mylène writes for her, Alizée sings here the development of her life, like a tunnel that takes Alizée to the adult age. She makes her first steps in the world of adults, but sometimes, when a kind of sadness takes hold of her ("Les jours de pluie" : "The rainy days") or when the adults are too harsh ("Les grands ont des rires qui vous giflent en passant" : "the grown-up have laughs that slap you while passing"), she needs to come back to the imaginary world of childhood, towards her toys, in particular her dear teddy bear. This little plush boy seems to help her a lot with its "ventre rond" ("plump stomach") and its "yeux profonds" ("deep eyes"). This song is a real love declaration to this teddy bear ("je voudrais dire, pas pour de rire, même si c'est con... Je l'aime, lui" --> "I want to say, even if it's stupid... I love Him*»). Alizée even confesses that, once she is adult, she will never be separated of it ("Son amitié, c'est dur à dire, dure toute la vie..." --> "Its friendship, it's hard to say, lasts forever...").
