"Tu es foutu" describes the end of a relationship. In-Grid tells her lover that she is fed up with his empty promises and says angrily that he is "screwed"/"fucked" (the literal meaning of "tu es foutu" in French). The lyrics were written by In-Grid and Marco Soncini, who also produced the song. [1] The English version was also co-written by Daniela Galli (also known as Dhany) and Paul Sears. [2]
