The chorus of France Gall's 1987 hit Ella, elle l'a, a bright French pop hook that creators use for confident, stylish video clips and fashion reveals.

Ella, elle l'a is a short burst of France Gall's sparkling French pop chorus, driven by a punchy synth rhythm, bright backing vocals and her clear, joyful lead voice repeating the title phrase. It opens with an instant sense of movement and glamour, like the start of a runway walk or a confident entrance, and it keeps its energy high from the first beat. Listeners recognise the melody immediately even without understanding French, and the clip feels celebratory, elegant and a little playful, making a short video feel polished, upbeat and full of personality.

Released in 1987, Ella, elle l'a was performed by French singer France Gall and written by Michel Berger as a tribute to American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald. The song became one of Gall's biggest hits in France and across Europe, helped by its catchy chorus and danceable pop production. Decades later it has found a new audience through short-form video, where its instantly recognisable opening and joyful energy make it a favourite for fashion, dance and celebration clips.
