"La poupée monte le son" (French: [la pupe mɔ̃t lə sɔ̃]; lit. 'The doll turns up the sound') is the debut single by Luxembourgish singer Laura Thorn. A nod to Luxembourg’s winning Eurovision entry in 1965, the song was released on 20 December 2024, and was written by Christophe Houssin, Julien Salvia, and Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal. A revamped version of the song was released on 18 March 2025. The song represented Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.
Background and composition
"La poupée monte le son" was written and composed by French songwriters Christophe Houssin, Julien Salvia, and Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal. The song was described as a homage to France Gall's song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", Luxembourg’s winning Eurovision entry in 1965. During the press conference after winning Luxembourg Song Contest 2025, Laura Thorn said that "a doll is controlled by someone. The one I sing about no longer lets itself be done", referring to an opposite approach to Gall's song. In an interview with ESCBubble, Thorn further said, "I love the fact that there's this connection with France's song, especially because it won Eurovision exactly 60 years ago, so I thought that's such a great idea to really honour Luxembourg and its history with the Eurovision Song Contest".
A revamped version of the song was released to streaming platforms on 18 March 2025.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “La poupée monte le son” as 2024 song by Laura Thorn. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2024 song by Laura Thorn. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131925542. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1965, 2024 and 2025.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
