S'Ă©ternise is a beautiful French reflexive verb meaning "to drag on forever" or "to last for a very long time," often longer than desired. It comes from the word Ă©ternel (eternal), which gives it a poetic and slightly dramatic quality.
In the song, Luiza sings, "Demain en demain s'Ă©ternise", which poetically captures the feeling of procrastination. It describes how putting things off until 'tomorrow' creates an endless cycle where the future never truly arrives, and the waiting just drags on.
What if tomorrow never arrives? In “Demain Demain,” Brazilian singer Luiza turns the simple word demain (French for tomorrow) into a catchy mantra that exposes our habit of postponing everything. Love, luck, paradise—all those shiny rewards are always “just one day away.” With each playful repetition, the song shines a spotlight on the sweet but slippery promises we make to ourselves: I’ll change tomorrow, I’ll win tomorrow, life will smile at me tomorrow.
Yet beneath the upbeat melody lies a gentle warning. By chasing an ever-moving finish line, we risk letting “tomorrow” steal the energy and courage we need today. The chorus admits it outright: Demain décourage aujourd’hui—tomorrow discourages today. Luiza invites us to laugh at our own procrastination, then challenges us to flip the script. Instead of dreaming about a perfect future, why not seize the moment now and turn aujourd’hui into the real promised land?
Luiza is a French-Brazilian singer born in Rennes, France, to a Brazilian mother and a French father. She trained classically at the conservatoire from a young age, then spent time in Brazil discovering new rhythms and later studied at the Beaux-Arts de la RĂ©union.
Back in Paris, she built her career through collaborations, lending her voice to artists like Fakear, Mahom, and Flavia Coelho, and recording a dub EP with Khoe Wa. As a solo artist, she blends French pop with South American and tropical influences, pairing cumbia rhythms with French pop on "Demain Demain," baile funk on "OxalĂ ," and maloya on "Wadidadu." Her music captures a playful, genre-crossing energy that mirrors her own multicultural upbringing.
