Music and structure
"Mademoiselle Juliette" is a pop song. The song is set in Common time with a tempo of 130 beats per minute. The song is written in the key of F major. The song begins with techno synths playing followed by vocals and drum beat, then progresses into a fast tempo electropop beat with twinkling synths played by guitars, synthesizer keyboards, and snare drums.
Lyrically, the song "Mademoiselle Juliette" portrays Juliet Capulet from Romeo and Juliet, the drama by William Shakespeare, as a girl who would rather party than worry about the Montague-Capulet dispute.

Music video
The video was released on 19 November 2007.
In the video Alizée is dancing and having fun in a French mansion. The music video was directed by Julien Rotterman and shot during one day on the north side of Paris, at the château of Champlâtreux. On 30 November 2007, Rotterman released a director's cut of the music video.
The video reached #1 on Latin MTV, on a show called Los 10 + Pedidos. On the same channel, it reached #138 in the countdown of the 150 most important videos in the past 15 years.

Charts
The single debuted at #22 on the France Top 100 Singles chart. It only held its peak position for a week, later falling to #52, dropping thirty places. "Mademoiselle Juliette" then stayed on the charts for six more weeks, eventually dropping to #99 and leaving the chart afterward.
It debuted in thirteenth place on the French singles download chart. The single fell off the chart a week later. But after promotion of the album and single throughout late November and early December, Mademoiselle Juliette re-entered the French singles download chart at number 26. However, it fell off the charts quickly.
The single has also been released in Mexico as a CD single import.

Reception
Stéréology: Works quite well, as the first song "Mademoiselle Juliette" shows. Alizée with a slightly distorted voice, lots of synthesizers and a beat, then immediately swing dancing leaves. A great pop song that is immediately in the head, and there Ohrwurm pushes his mischief.
