Ma jeunesse fout le camp... is the seventh studio album by French singer-songwriter Françoise Hardy, released in November 1967 on Disques Vogue. The title is very idiomatic, but it in English its general meaning is 'My youth is slipping away'.
The album was released halfway between her initial years in the yé-yé phenomenon and her more singer-songwriter albums like La question,[2] and has been described as "her farewell to the yéyé years."[3]
