That would be nice! I would understand a few words in the song XDD
She already did in "Love Attraction" (Butterfly), but it would be nice that she does it again since she has taken courses ^^

I found Jolin speaking French in Agent J movie making (2007). Her pronunciation is quite good actually!

Vocabulary (she's saying basic French, but still)
Spoiler:
"Bonjour je m'appelle Jolin" = "Hello my name is Jolin"
"Enchantée" = "Nice to meet you"
"Où est les toilettes?" (actually the correct sentence is "Où sont les toilettes?" XD) = "Where is the bathroom?"
"Je pense beaucoup à toi" = "I think about you a lot" (funny thing, Chinese subtitles say "Je pense souvent à toi" instead of "beaucoup" XD "beaucoup" = "a lot", "souvent" = "often")
"Bonne nuit" = "Good night"
"Bonjour" = "Good morning" (or "good afternoon", in France we only use "bonjour" for all day. It can be translated too as "Hello". It depends XD)
"Bonsoir" = "Good evening"
"Merci beaucoup" = "thank you very much"
"C'est Jolin" = "It's Jolin"
In the end she's trying to say "Hermès" with the French pronunciation.


It seems that Fahrenheit already shot the MV for touch your heart, but I don't know about Jolin yet.
