Music and video

Le Parisien stated the song is "rhythmic and effective". According to Maé, "it is music that comes from the heart, rather spontaneous in the composing."[3]

The music video illustrates the difficulty of reconciling love and friendship. It shows Maé declaring his love to his girlfriend who does not like his friends, with whom he lived, however. To try to keep her, he tries to do all what he can. In fact, he delights in this situation because all this finally allows him to spend more time with his friends.[4] Maé said "it is tongue-in-cheek of course". The song was performed on television for the first time in the NRJ Music Awards show.[3]
