Discover the story of the song > Je m’appelle Jane – Jane Birkin

The song is about a woman named Jane who is being questioned by someone called Birkin. Birkin asks Jane about her accent, why she walks in the mud, why she is affectionate in August, why she still wears old clothes, why she hasn't gained weight, why she cries when someone is in danger, why she doesn't get angry, and why she looks bored. Jane responds with reasons that describe her personality traits as being childish, clever, sensitive, and fragile. She ends the song by declaring her name and that she doesn't care what others think about her.
