Music and Lyrics

The music was composed by Alizée's husband, Jérémy Chatelain, with lyrics by him and Jean Fauque. The chords of the chorus follow a standard i - bVI - bIII - bVII progression. The music includes many computer effects, without having been considered Electronic. The lyrics to Fifty-Sixty tell, in personal and metaphorical manner, of a young model under the guidance of Andy Warhol, possibly inspired by real-life story of Edie Sedgwick. The song ends with a reiteration of how she foolishly believed Andy that she was the most beautiful model of all.

Music Video

The First Music video was released in black and white with some special effects (animation). The video is about Alizee and her friends modeling some dresses, singing and having fun.

Performances

Alizée first performed the song at a concert organized in Strasbourg, France by the television station W9. Alizée used a megaphone while performing the number's bridge. She has since performed the track on stage in Aix-En-Provance for M6 Live.

Internet Distribution

According to Alizée in interviews, a member of her crew had distributed clips of the song onto the Internet without permission. Clips were featured on YouTube, Wat.tv, and DailyMotion as well as other Internet mediums in the Summer of 2007. Alizée has stated that fans complained about the song even though it wasn't even finished with production. However, the final version that appears on her album differs little from the original leak.
