• This foreign-language song was just one example of how Ghost In The Machine marked a turning point for The Police. Whereas their first three album releases reflected their strong reggae and punk roots, Ghost saw the band move toward a more mainstream pop sound, while at the same time exploring new musical territory and themes. This trend would continue, and culminate, with Synchronicity, which would turn out to be their final, and most commercially successful, studio album together. >>>

• So what's this song about? "Lust, impure and simple," Sting wrote in Lyrics By Sting. "Trudie helped me with the French and a lot of the passion." He wrote this around the time he started his scandalous romance with Trudie Styler (he was still married to actress Frances Tomelty, and Trudie especially took a lot of hits from the press for being the "other woman"). They would marry in 1992.
