t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said (3:39)

"All the Things She Said", English version of "Ya Soshla S Uma", is the first single from t.A.T.u.'s debut English album 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane. The song was a big success based on sales and airplay. It was the first single by a Russian artist to hit the number one in the UK Singles Chart and the Australian number one singles, a position it held for 4 weeks. It is undoubtedly the song that launched t.A.T.u. to stardom. The single has received Platinum and Gold certifications all over the world making its physical and digital sales over 4 million copies.

Being nearly the same to the video for "Ya Soshla S Uma" (I Lost My Mind) (except for vocal portions), the music video for All the Things She Said was of Yulia and Lena wearing Catholic school uniforms , singing along together in the rain, and snow. The two eventually kiss while behind a chain fence, where on the other side there is a crowd of on-lookers. It is meant to seem like the crowd is watching these two lesbian girls who are in some sort of cage. The video ends ironically when the girls go around the corner of the building, and off into the distance as the rain clears, revealing that the on-lookers are the real captives, of ignorance. The English video is made up from footage from the Russian version, and there are fewer shots of the band singing, due to the language barrier.

The video caused controversy in countries where it was played. In fact, it was listed on Much Music's 50 Most Controversial Videos at number 4. It also gained popularity and critiques from their kiss in the video. Ivan Shapovalov directed the video.

In the United Kingdom, TV presenters Richard and Judy campaigned to have their video banned from TV claiming it pandered to pedophiles with the use of school uniforms and young girls kissing. Although their campaign failed, other TV shows took a negative stance to the video and the girls' kissing. In each of the four times Top of the Pops (British TV show) aired a live performance of the girls, the kiss was replaced with footage of the audience (sometimes kissing) instead.
