Music Video[edit | edit source]

Screenshots showing Elice in the music video.

The music video was shot in Paris in April 2013, and released in France on January 11, 2014 during the first episode of The Voice: la plus belle voix.
The video opens with different views of Paris. Various shots of secret agents using handheld transceiver is also seen around Paris. The secret agents flood Paris looking for Elice. She is mysteriously seen hidden in the middle of crowds at the Sacré-Cœur observing these secret agents. Get get scenes of Elice walking by the Eiffel Tower singing the song. Scene changes and it shows Elice getting dressed in a luxurious suite. She checks an encrypted note that's in her dresser. She picks up a pencil and starts to decode the note. Scene is changed before it's revealed what Elice has decoded. Scene changes and now Elice is standing in the middle of a narrow street wearing a big red gown performing the song, meanwhile from a distance, the secret agents watch her. As the agents start to approach her, she stars running, but we see a little smirk in her face, as if she wants them to follow her. Scene changes and it's nighttime, the secret agents all run towards a phone booth which Elice is in. Scene keeps on changing and now we see a copy of the decoded note in the hands of one of the agents. Scene changes and it shows the agents in Elice's suite. Scene changes again and we see him picking up the note Elice left there. Scene changes and now there's a car approaching the booth. As the car approaches the booth, the agents start scattering away. Elice is seen exiting the booth and getting inside the car. Inside the car we see Isaac Bellamy dressed in black (exactly like one of the secret agents). Elice smirks and kisses him as they drive off. While driving off, we see a scene showing Elice holding multiple passports with different identities; another scene showing Elice taking pictures of people and spying on the government. Scene changes and it shows Isaac aiding Elice on her spy mission. In the end we find out that Elice was spying on the French government with the aid of Isaac (who was actually part of the French secret service).
