You're Under Arrest is the sixteenth and final studio album by French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. The album was released in 1987 through Philips Records. It was produced by Philippe Lerichomme and the American guitarist Billy Rush, who collaborated with Gainsbourg on his previous album, Love on the Beat (1984).
Retaining the new wave influences found on Love on the Beat, the album consists of "funk tunes" and introduces hip hop elements to Gainsbourg's music, inspired by acts such as Chic and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The album also features a cover version of "Gloomy Sunday", a song composed by Hungarian pianist Rezső Seress, and "Mon légionnaire", a French song popularized by Édith Piaf.
