Песня была написана в начале шестидесятых, в то время, когда Чак Берри находился в тюрьме. You Never Can Tell вошла в альбом Берри St. Louis to Liverpool 1964 года, изданный на лейбле Chess Records; как сингл она дошла до 14 места в рейтинге журнала Billboard.
Впоследствии кавер-версии песни записали Ронни Лэйн, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Боб Сигер, Билл Уаймэн и Status Quo.
Вторая волна популярности You Never Can Tell началась после выхода на экраны фильма «Криминальное чтиво» (1994) культового американского режиссёра Квентина Тарантино. В одном из эпизодов фильма гангстер Винсент Вега (Джон Траволта) и жена его босса Мия Уоллес (Ума Турман) танцуют твист под песню Чака Берри. По словам Тарантино, лирика песни придаёт этой сцене особую атмосферу Французской новой волны.

"You Never Can Tell" also occasionally referred to as "C'est La Vie" is a rock and roll song by Chuck Berry. It was composed while he was in prison for intent to commit a sex crime. The song was originally released in 1964 on the album St. Louis to Liverpool, and has also been recorded or performed by Chely Wright, John Prine,New Riders of the Purple Sage, the Jerry Garcia Band, Bruce Springsteen and Emmylou Harris.
The song became briefly popular again for a time in 1994 after the release of the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. The music was played for a contest at the fictional restaurant Jack Rabbit Slim's in which John Travolta as Vincent Vega and Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace danced for the contest's main prize. The music added an evocative element of sound to the narrative and Tarantino said that the song's lyrics of "Pierre" and "Mademoiselle" gave the scene a "uniquely 50's French New Wave dance sequence feel".
