C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des tropes:

• Album Title Drop: On the first lyrics of the Title Track (and the album as a whole).
• Alone Among the Couples: The premise of "Tous les Garçons et les Filles".
• Break Up Song: "C'est à l'Amour Auquel je Pense".
• Despair Event Horizon : "Tous les Garçons et les Filles" depicts a lonely character yearning for love while "J'ai Jeté Mon Coeur" is about the consequences of a heartbreak.
• Face on the Cover: It's a photo of Françoise holding an umbrella.
• Gratuitous English: On "Je suis D'accord".
• I Will Wait for You: Subverted with The protagonist of "Il est Parti un Jour" who keeps waiting for her lover to come back until she gets tired of it and decides to "catch up with the lost time".
• The Masochism Tango: "Oh Oh Chéri" has a main character who somehow enjoys being mistreated by her lover when he's in a bad mood.
• Miniscule Rocking: None of the songs are very long, but three of them under two minutes.
• One-Woman Song: "La Fille Avec Toi".
• The Power of Love: "C'est à l'Amour Auquel je Pense".
• Scatting: Françoise' signature humming is heard on "Oh Oh Chéri" and "Il est Tout pour Moi".
• Self-Titled Album: The album was released as such and was later retitled after the lead single "Tous les Garçons et les Filles".
• Silly Love Songs: "Il est tout pour moi"
• Title Drop: On all tracks.
• Title Track: "Tous les Garçons et les Filles - Slow", which is the first song on the album.
