"Appelle mon numéro" (English: "Call/dial My Number") is a 2008 song recorded by French singer Mylène Farmer. Released on 3 November 2008, it was the second single from her seventh studio album, Point de Suture. It received generally positive reviews from critics and was more aired on radio and television than Farmer's previous single, "Dégénération". In France, the single allowed Farmer to establish a new record: to obtain a sixth number-one hit.
In late August 2008, when Point de Suture was available digitally, several sites announced "Appelle mon numéro" as the singer's next single from her album, but often presented as a probability. However, this information was not officially confirmed before 12 September 2008. That day, a promotional format was sent to the radio stations which began to broadcast the radio edit version.
On 9 October, Cede.ch site announced the date of release – 3 November 2008 – and two formats that would be available – two CD maxi. Two days later, Amazon.fr and Alapage.com revealed other two formats: a CD single, a digipack CD maxi and a vinyl. The cover art of the CD maxi was shown on 19 October 2008, and those of the CD single on 21 October.
This "pop ballad" uses an acoustic guitar. The psychologist Hugues Royer said the song is naughty and speaks of love on the phone, Farmer hoping that her lover came to share her privacy. He said that the lyrics "my most beautiful gesture" is for the singer "the act of placing her head on the pillow, and that this privilege is reserved for the person who "enters the history", i.e. that of the singer".
On 8 October, some media revealed that the music video was shot on 4 and 5 October in the studios of Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis, France. This video was scheduled to be broadcast on television on 22 October but, according to Polydor, it could be delayed on 29 October if the assembly is not finished. It was directed by Benoît Di Sabatino, the singer's companion, who had also produced the music videos for "C'est une belle journée", "L'amour n'est rien..." and "Drôle de creepie" (for Lisa). The first images were shown on the Internet on 17 October 2008 and the full video was eventually available on the Internet and on television on 22 October. It was elected "Video of the month" of November 2008 on the radio Radio Jeunes Reims. On 17 November 2008, the video was available digitally on the official sites of download.
