The song was declared by Gainsbourg to portray the impossibilities and desperation of physical love, and features provocative lyrics such as “Je vais et je viens, entre tes reins” (“I go and I come, between your loins”). In 1968, Gainsbourg began dating English actress Jane Birkin and they recorded the song together. Originally written by Gainsbourg at the request of girlfriend Brigitte Bardot, when her businessman husband heard it he asked for the single to be withdrawn. Banned in many countries for its explicit nature, the song did attract universal acclaim and eventually reached number one in the UK charts. Lyrically, the song details the conversation between two lovers during intimacy. Translated as “I Love You….Me Neither,” the track is one of the most controversial duets ever released.
