The song mocks rapper Cuizinier of TTC and is a female reply to his songs.[4][5][6] It received a positive response and soon attracted the attention of record label, Source.[5][2]

Yelle then began working on and recording their debut album, Pop Up in 2006,[4] producer Tepr had been roped into the band after meeting GrandMarnier while working as a journalist.[1] GrandMarnier and Tepr produced the music, while Budet would join them in writing lyrics under the collective name, Yelle.[7] In 2008, after being asked by Katy Perry, they remixed her song "Hot N Cold"[1] and later participated the second installment of iTunes Foreign Exchange, for which they recorded a French version of Robyn's Who's That Girl?.

Artistry

The name of the band, Yelle, began as an acronym of the phrase "You Enjoy Life", "YEL", but was later feminised to "Yelle"[1] because a Belgian band was already using the name.[3] The band has enjoyed success outside of France despite making songs exclusively in French[4][1] and have toured overseas in non-French speaking countries.[2][6][5]
