t.A.T.u. – All the Things She Said (2002)
Directed by: Ivan Shapovalov
All the Things She Said is a groundbreaking track by Russian duo t.A.T.u., released on August 19, 2002, as the lead single from their debut English-language album, *200 km/h in the Wrong Lane*. The song is an English adaptation of their 2000 Russian hit “Ya Soshla s Uma” and explores themes of forbidden love and societal judgment. The accompanying music video, directed by Ivan Shapovalov, features the duo in school uniforms, kissing behind a fence in the rain, symbolizing their isolation and defiance. This provocative imagery sparked global controversy, leading to bans and debates about its content. Despite this, the song achieved significant commercial success, reaching number one in multiple countries, including the UK, Australia, and Germany, and peaking at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
