"II avait les mots" is a pop song recorded by R&B singer Sheryfa Luna, written by Dave and Singuila and composed by Singuila and Track Invaders.[1] It is the second single from her debut album, Sheryfa Luna. The single was released on January 21, 2008. After eight weeks spent on the first position of the French Singles Chart, 86,855 copies of the single were sold.

According to Sheryfa Luna, the song is about the "story of a young girl who dates with an older man, and who realizes that this man is married and that he has children".[2]

The music video was produced by Núfilms, directed by Ivan Grbovic[3] [4] and shot in Montreal, Canada, in November 2007. The video illustrates the song's lyrics. It began to be aired in the middle of December 2007.[5]
