The track was written by MIKA, Renaud Rebillaud, and Carla De Coignac. Produced by Renaud Rebillaud and Marsō.
MIKA said of the song, “My new song is called Jane Birkin. It's a tribute to Jane Birkin, but it's also about a lot of other things. I haven't often written songs using anyone else's names, especially not well-known name. I did it once with a Grace Kelly. Here, I did it with Jane Birkin. Why Jane Birkin? Th song is about being free. The song is about daring, being yourself, expressing yourself, being honest, being poetic, being daring, daring to be daring, while remaining poetic and artistic.”- He continued, “Well, here we are, describing Jane Birkin. In my opinion, she's a woman, a lady who artistically and also humanity, has always had this ability to express herself, to play with preconceptions of things, to talk about art, to sing in her own way, to write in her own way, the way she played in her films, to talk about sensuality, love, sex, all that, but always remaining extremely elegant and poetic, this mix is also has a little of her anglo-french accent. Of course she's a woman who has always really intrigued me, and who I've always liked when I've seen her from a distance through my screen, throughout my adolescence and my adult life.”
He aded, “You can be yourself, and if you want to be yourself, you have to be brave. And if we have to be brave to be ourselves, we also need icons to inspire us. And you could say I'd like to be a bit like her or like him. well, I say yes Mika, I'd like to be a bit more like her.” -
