Lyrics and music

The lyrics were written and the music composed by Laurent Jeanne, Dan Mitrecey, Philippe Pelet and Olivier Perrot. The song is about the social networking opportunities and convenience brought to the singer's life by her mobile telephone. In the song, Ilona enumerates eight first names of girls who apparently are her friends. However, in an interview, Ilona said that the song is not autobiographical and that she doesn't know girls with such first names"Le monde parfait d'Ilona en interview vidéo" [http://musique.ados.fr/interviews/ilona-mitrecey-en-interview-video_article1291.html Musique.ados.fr] (Retrieved December 12, 2007)] .
