Maman a tort "Maman a tort" is a 1984 song recorded by French artist Mylène Farmer. It was the debut single from Farmer's first studio album "Cendres de Lune", and marked the beginning of her collaboration with her long-time composer, Laurent Boutonnat. With lyrics by Jérôme Dahan, who also helped compose the song with Boutonnat, the song was first released in March 1984. An English-language version, titled "My Mum Is Wrong" and produced by F. R. David, was released in September 1984. "Maman a tort" was deemed as provocative at the time, as its ambiguous lyrics seem to deal with a lesbian love; similarly, the video, which shows Farmer lightly dressed, was often censored on television when it was released. Generally well received by critics, the original French version of the song achieved modest success in comparison with the singer's next singles, while the English-language version was a commercial failure. The song did, however, allow Farmer to launch her singing career and establish her particular artistic style.
