The song was first rumoured when a twelve-second preview was published online on 1 July 2011.[1] Just ten days later, the French iTunes Store made the whole song available as a digital download.[2] However, its official release did not occur until 26 September 2011.[3] Lyrically, the song is "about all the horrific things a mother can say to her son to get him to get out of her house".[4]
A first English version named "She tells me" was sung live, with lyrics very close to the initial meaning.[5] The commercially released version switched the focus to an Emily character with the singer being the one bossing her around.
The music video directed by Kinga Burza was released on 16 August 2011. The video shows a family dancing and singing along to the song individually, as well as clips of the family members arguing and behaving mischievously. The video features a well-known ensemble of French actors, including Fanny Ardant, Marie-Clotilde Ramos-Ibanez, Patrice Pujol and Axel Huet.[6][7][8]
The song "Elle Me Dit" is featured in the 2017 film "Pitch Perfect 3".
