A new song by Mika, from his forthcoming new album, and in a bold move for a UK based singer, he's released a song in French.
Mika's 2007 debut Life in Cartoon Motion sold by the million internationally and snagged him a Brit award and a Grammy nomination
Born in Beiruit to American and Lebanese parents, Mika's got serious French roots, having moved to Paris as a baby where he stayed until he was nine.
The family then moving to London where he attended the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, before going to an English school.
Elle Me Dit is the first song from his third album, The Origin of Love, which is expected to come out in early 2012.
It's the first song he's released in French and others are expected to be included on the album.
Speaking to France Soir in June, he said the album was "A very pop album in English, along with songs in French." He said that for the French songs he worked with a lyricist called Dorian, who wrote the French version of his international hit Grace Kelly.
A great video for the song, featuring a guest appearance by French actress Fanny Ardant.
