I Don't Like Disco is a studio album by French singer Amanda Lear, released in 2012 by independent label Little Boom Records and distributed by Universal Music France. The album spawned the minor hit "La Bête et la Belle".
I Don't Like Disco is Lear's first studio album since 1989's Uomini più uomini – and only the fifth in her career – not to include any covers or re-recordings of her earlier hits. Stylistically, the album explores electropop with minor rock influences. The singer revealed that she called it I Don't Like Disco to separate herself from the image of the 'disco queen' she had earned earlier in her musical career. It was originally scheduled for release on 7 November 2011, but the launch was then pushed back to January 2012 to ensure more time for promotion. In August 2012, a deluxe edition of the album was released, containing additional recordings and remixes.
Three singles preceded the album's release in 2011: "Chinese Walk", "I Don't Like Disco" and "La Bête et la Belle". The fourth and final single, "Love at First Sight", was released in the summer 2012 to promote the deluxe edition of the album. "Chinese Walk" and "La Bête et la Belle" enjoyed the biggest popularity, largely due to their well-received music videos. The videoclip for the latter has gone viral and caused controversies over its erotic overtones. The album was met with positive response from fans and critics, but was not a chart success.
