"Je te dis tout" is a song by French singer songwriter Mylène Farmer. This ballad was written by Farmer with music composed by Laurent Boutonnat. It was the second single from her ninth studio album Monkey Me (2012), and was first released digitally on 28 January 2013, then will be released physically on 4 March 2013. The music video was directed by François Hanss.

On 24 January 2013, it was said that "Je te dis tout" would be the second single from the Monkey Me album. An one-minute shortened version of the song was sent to radios in a promotional CD displaying a big red "M" in the center of the cover. The song was available on digital platforms on 28 January 2013. On 20 April 2013, 1,000 units of a picture disc CD were available for sale (although units numbered over 1,000 were sold) in 170 independent record stores throughout France.

Alongside "Quand", "Je te dis tout" is one of the two ballads on the album. The song deals with the absolute love; Farmer, the writer, is very explicit in the lyrics that sound like a declaration of love as she had rarely sung in the past.

The song was generally praised and often considered the best track of the album. Julien Chadeyron of Le Nouvel Observateur deemed "Je te dis tout" "a melancholy, sexual, intoxicant song", being the "perfect harmony". On evous.fr, the song is presented as "one of the beautiful lyrics of the album", even "of [Farmer's] career", the song itself being qualified as "perfect, magic".

Directed by François Hanss on 14 January 2013, the music video was officially revealed on 29 January 2013 on a website named jetedistout.com, and the Internet users had to share the link to see an image from the video, then to unlock the full video. The video was shot in the Parc de l'Abbaye in Chaalis, in the Oise department, France. The video shows the singer, first alone in a boat on a foggy lake and then with a horse she tries to tame; she alternatively can be seen walking in a forest and whispering in the horse's ear. Many features recall some of Farmer's 1980s and 1990s videos, particularly the ones for the singles "Plus grandir in 1985, "Libertine" in 1986, "Tristana" in 1987, "Ainsi soit je...", "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces" in 1988, "Allan" and "À quoi je sers..." in 1989, "Je te rends ton amour" in 1999 and "Innamoramento" in 2000, so that Laure Costey of Gala considered that "visually, one would think this is a come back to the singer's past".
