Les Mots is the first compilation by French singer Mylène Farmer, released on November 26, 2001. It contains most of the singer's hits and three new songs. It was certified Diamond in France.
In 2001, rumours were launched that Farmer was doing her first compilation. However, while some people thought that it would be a remixes compilation as Dance Remixes, for others it would be an acoustic compilation and for others, it would be a best of containing all Farmer's hits. Eventually, it was a best of, preceded by the release of the new single "Les Mots", the first international duet of Farmer. The best of was also entitled Les Mots and was released throughout Europe on November 28, 2001.
This album includes all Farmer's tracks released as singles since "Maman a tort" until "L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est...", except "On est tous des imbéciles" (due to problems of copyright) and "My Mum Is Wrong". It also contains several B-sides (two of them for the general public, the other ones in the long box ; "L'Annonciation" and "Dernier Sourire" don't feature on the album due to problems of copyright) and three news songs. The live singles are not included in the track listing. In total, there are 30 tracks for the general public and 33 titles for the limited edition. A long box was made with four CD instead of two, including a DVD of the new Farmer's video.
The booklet is composed of very sexy and provocative photographs of Farmer in suggestive positions wearing pearly , a pink pants and a silk négligée. These photos were taken by Ellen Von Unwerth, with a budget of 67,000 euros. However, unlike previous albums, the singer is smiling in these photos.
There were four singles from this best of: "L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est..." (February 27, 2001), "Les Mots" (November 13, 2001), "C'est une belle journée" (April 16, 2002) and "Pardonne-moi" (October 21, 2002). The two first ones were released before the best of, and the two others after this one.
