Bulletproof - Tiborg Remix

"Bulletproof" was the third single released by the London-based electro-pop duo La Roux from their self-titled debut album. Singer Elly Jackson explained the song to the BBC Newsbeat program: "For me 'Bulletproof' is just about looking at a situation that's usually a reoccurring one. It could be to do with anything in your life - whatever you want it to be about. I don't like being specific about what my tracks are about to me because its not really about that. It serves its purpose for me and once you put it out into the public - it then becomes what anyone wants it to be about. But it's just vaguely about, realizing there's a reoccurring situation in your life, something which keeps happening to you or keeps knocking you back. Something that you can't quite get over. It's about going to yourself, 'No, I'm not going to do this to myself again because it's not good for me and I'm going to be bulletproof.'"

Jackson told Newsbeat about her first reaction to the finished video, in which she is styled in high-fashion clothes: "I saw the finished version last week and I love it. I love the fact that it's not '80s - that was really what I wanted from this video. I don't want every video and every single thing from here on out to be this '80s recurring theme. I didn't just want to be seen as an '80s revival artist and that was really important to me in this video. It's a really good, contemporary, slick looking video - without looking too American as well which is really important."

This was La Roux's first UK #1. It debuted at the top position in the week that Michael Jackson died, so it was apt that a Jackson, in this instance Elly, was involved in that week's premier song.
