Tellier's first album, L'incroyable Vérité (The Incredible Truth), was released in 2001. Tellier went on tour with Air in support of the album. The track " Fantino" off the album was chosen by Sofia Coppola for the soundtrack to her 2003 film "Lost in Translation". Tellier followed L'incroyable Vérité with his second studio album Politics (2005). A particularly popular song from Politics was "La Ritournelle", a string-led tune, which featured Nigerian drummer, Tony Allen of Fela Kuti fame. "La Ritournelle" was remixed by various artists, notably in Britain by Metronomy.
Since the release of Politics, Tellier has also recorded an acoustic album of his more popular songs, Sessions (2006). The album was repackaged for the British market as Universe (2006), to include both highlights from the French CD, as well as compositions from Tellier's score for the film Narco.
His third studio album Sexuality was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. Like his previous album Politics, Tellier used a single term as title and theme of the album.
On 7 March 2008, it was announced by Bruno Berberes, head of EBU delegation in France, that Tellier would represent France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. It was held in Belgrade on 24 May 2008. Tellier sang "Divine". This was the first time in the history of the contest that the nominated French entry was to be performed largely in English, which caused controversy, leading to Tellier pledging to increase the amount of French in the song prior to the competition itself.

Sébastien Tellier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Killing me by shot, just in once
Let me look at you, with your cries
Since the days of school, you and I
You are my way
You did the hook, you did right
Shiny as a jewel, with your tie, oh see
See darling the moon, on the sand
You are my way
Just let me play, oh oh, oh oh oh
Just let me play, oh oh, oh oh oh
Details of your look, like your touch
Killing me by shot, just in once
Let me look at you, with your cries
Since the days of school, you and I
You are my way
Just let me play, oh oh, oh oh oh
Just let me play, oh oh, oh oh oh
The lyrics of Sébastien Tellier's song Look in suggest a romantic relationship, where the subject is completely infatuated with their partner's physical appearance and how they make them feel. The lines "Details of your look, like your touch, Killing me by shot, just in once" convey the idea that the subject is overwhelmed by their partner's beauty and charm, and it's affecting them deeply. The phrase "Killing me by shot" suggests that their partner's presence has the power to take their breath away, rendering them helpless.
The next lines "Let me look at you, with your cries, Since the days of school, you and I" indicate that the subjects have known each other for a long time, and their affection for each other has grown over the years. The singer highlights that their partner's emotions have an effect on them as well, giving the impression that they are deeply, emotionally connected. The repetition of "You are my way" throughout the song portrays a sense of dependence on the partner and how they are the singer's source of happiness, comfort, and safety.
The chorus, where the singer pleads to "Just let me play, oh oh, oh oh oh," could indicate the subject's desire to continue the game of love, almost like reminiscing their youthful days of love, free of any stressful and mundane daily responsibilities.
