“T’Épauler” is a heartfelt promise wrapped in an Afro-urban groove. Barack Adama and Gims sing to a partner who *“maquilles leurs défauts”*—someone who covers their flaws and chooses them first. In return, the artists vow to protect and uplift her “de jour comme de nuit.” They flaunt broad shoulders ready to carry every worry, insisting that real love is proven by actions, not empty talk. The catchy refrain and the playful “sé-po, sé-posé” (“I’m settled now”) show a man who has outgrown street doubts and is finally steady enough to be her rock.
Behind the smooth melody lies a message of mutual loyalty and growth: admitting imperfections, brushing off outsiders’ opinions, and standing strong together. It’s an anthem for anyone who wants to tell a loved one, “Lean on me, I’ve got you—day and night.”
