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 highly idiomatic, but its general meaning in English is 'My youth is slipping away'.
The album was released halfway between her early years in the yé-yé phenomenon and her later, more singer-songwriter focused albums like La question.[2] It has been described as "her farewell to the yéyé years."[3]
