"Ma Philosophie" bursts with confidence and defiance. Amel Bent, raised in a working-class Parisian suburb and proud of her mixed roots, makes one bold statement: Accept me as I am. Throughout the song she keeps her fist raised (“le poing levé”), a powerful symbol of resistance against stereotypes about her body, her background, and her dreams. She refuses to be shamed for her curves, her neighborhood, or her ambitions; instead, she lifts her head high, puffs out her chest, and declares herself “the ace that beats the king.”

The chorus — “Viser la Lune, ça me fait pas peur” (“Aiming for the Moon doesn’t scare me”) — turns the track into an anthem of limitless aspiration. Amel promises to work twice as hard, make sacrifices, and keep believing together with everyone who feels underestimated. In just a few minutes, she transforms personal struggles into a universal pep-talk: be proud, stay resilient, and shoot for the stars with a smile and a raised fist.
