Jeanette Dimech (October 10, 1951 - ), who performs under the name Jeanette, is an English-born, American-raised singer who has resided in Spain since the age of 12.
Because of her grandparents' import-export business, she lived with her parents first in London, where she was born; and later in Chicago and Los Angeles, where she grew up. After her parents' separation at age 12, she moved to Barcelona, where her mother was from.
During the 1960s she learnt to play guitar and began to write her own songs. She styled her music after American folk music, and her idols included Bob Dylan, Donovan, and The Byrds. Later she joined the student band Pic-Nic as a singer, who in 1969 had a measure of success with a folk version of the Spanish children's song Cállate niña. Other notable songs of theirs included Amanecer and No digas nada.
After the band split up at the end of the 1960s, she moved to Vienna with her husband, the Hungarian musician Laszlo Kristof. At the start of the 1970s, she began her solo career with her hit first single,Soy rebelde (I am a rebel). It first enjoyed success in Spanish-speaking countries, and later broadened its influence with French and English versions. This song and others penned by Manuel Alejandro, such as El muchacho de los ojos tristes and Estoy triste established her as an artist in Spain.
Her greatest success Porque te vas (Because you are leaving) was actually written by José Luis Perales and remained relatively unknown at the start of 1974. Only when the song was used in Carlos Saura's 1977 film "Cria Cuervos" (Raise Crows), and the film went on be honoured at the Cannes film festival (Jury grand prize) and the Berlin Film Festival (jury special prize), did the song become internationally known and a hit. In Austria it reached number 13, in Switzerland number 4, and in Germany it even reached number 1.
Although after Porque te vas Jeanette never achieved similar international success, she continued singing relatively successfully in Spain (and to a lesser degree France) well into the 1990s.
Another artist using the name Jeanette is a South African singer. Her 2003 album “Jy’s my alles” features yodeling in Afrikaans and English.

Jeanette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy, I make you believe that it's love you receive
You're moving kinda slow, you got to keep it up

I'll be satisfied, boy I got you shook up on your knees
I'm just a bad girl 'cause I stick to my guns
Oh boy, it's not my fault, I'm irresistible

Shut up, babe, I don't have time, let me lay it on the line

The lyrics to Jeanette's song, Bad Girl, are about a woman who asserts her independence and enjoys being a rule breaker. She takes what she needs and believes that boys should deal with it. She makes them believe that they receive love from her, but in reality, she is just having fun. The man she is with is moving too slowly for her taste, so she encourages him to keep up. She enjoys being a bad girl and is satisfied with the power that it gives her. Her confidence is so great that she believes she is irresistible, and the damage she causes is not fixable. She is leaving the man she is with and does not care what he says because she knows she can find another guy who will treat her right.
