"Damn, dis-moi" (English "Damn, Tell Me"), also released under the title "Girlfriend", is a song by French singer Christine and the Queens[1] featuring American funk musician Dâm-Funk. "Damn, dis-moi" is the French version and "Girlfriend" is the English version. Both versions were released on 17 May 2018.[2][3][4]

The song peaked inside the top 10 of the French singles chart and was named as the best song of 2018 by Time.[5]

The characteristic harmonic basis of the song is a loop from the GarageBand software, which is provided free of charge by Apple.[6] The use of the sample was documented acoustically by Dr. Pop in the podcast ‘Auf Knopfdruck zum Welthit’.[7]
