With producer and close friend GrandMarnier, Budet has recorded a début album Pop-Up, after her hit single "Je veux te voir" (a finalised version of "Short Dick Cuizi").

She was MTV's 'Artist of the Week' for the week of 24th March-30th March 2008, appearing during adverts.
Yelle's second single "A cause des garçons/ACDG" is a cover song from an homonym 80's French band. A remixed version of the track by Riot in Belgium was featured on the soundtrack of Electronic Arts' computer game; Need for Speed: ProStreet. The song was also used as the opening song for the Moschino Spring Summer 2008 runway show
As of 2008, it is also featured in an advert being broadcast in Quebec for Telus, a Canadian telecommucations company and the 24th March episode of 'The Hills'. Her single "Je veux te voir" was featured on the series 4 final episode of Entourage, in the opening scene when the gang arrives in Cannes, and her single "Ce jeu" was played on Gap's and H & M's shop soundtrack in summer 2008.
The DJ Tepr has been touring with her and already remixed three Yelle's songs "A cause des garçons/ACDG" , "Je veux te Voir/Short Dick Cuizi" and "Ce Jeu".

Dire Qu
Yelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que toutes ces chairs vont pourrir
J'veux m'étouffer d'un fou rire
J'veux m'endormir le sourire aux lèvres
Demain pour qui le soleil se lève?
Dire qu'on va tous mourir
Que toutes ces chairs vont pourrir
A quoi ça sert que demain je t'aime?
Je serais seule à la fin quand même
The lyrics to "Dire Qu'on Va Tous Mourir" by Yelle are a contemplation of mortality and the inevitability of death. Yelle expresses a desire to laugh hysterically and go to sleep with a smile on her face, in the face of the fact that everyone will eventually die and their flesh will rot away. The repeated refrain of "Dire qu'on va tous mourir" ("To say that we are all going to die") emphasizes the universality of death and the futility of trying to escape it.

Une des meilleures de l'album, dommage qu'elle soit pas plus longue. Y avait tellement à faire avec la structure du texte.
@multitoucan300
+Armandlemechant Totalement d'accord, très joli point de vue !
@KeyboardistMonster
Je pense que cette chanson est courte parce qu'elle est censée être comme la vie, elle se termine plus vite que prévu
@ddesperoy3999
The production, the lyrics... this song actually makes me cry sometimes.
