"L'envers de la terre" (English: The Other Side of the Earth) is the first single from French R&B/pop singer-songwriter Leslie's third album, L'amour en vol (2006). The song was produced by Pete Martin & Kool.[1] The single was written by Leslie herself and Beegy.[2] It was released on 8 July 2006, through M6 Interactions and Sony BMG. "L'envers de la terre" is an electro-pop and dance-pop song with a slight touch of R&B to it. Lyrically, the song tells of a person being hypnotized by another person, making them feel like they are on the "other side of the Earth" because of the person she sings about.[3]
