This is a story about Romeo and Juliet. It focuses on Juliet and how she doesn't care about the family's feud, she just wants to party with her lover! Alizée explains that Shakespeare is in control and plans on creating a tragedy, the only way he can be stopped is if he dies. 

Alizée is a famous pop star who launched her career very early in her life (she was just 16 years old). Mademoiselle Juliette is the first song on Alizée's featured 3rd album; it clearly displays a classic Alizée-style of pop-like synths and a slightly tuned voice.
