Rentrez Chez Vous invites you to flip the script and picture your hometown under siege. From the opening line where the Eiffel Tower is blasted into rubble, Bigflo & Oli thrust us into a France ravaged by war, families torn apart, phones cut off, and trains crammed with desperate people. The narrator’s frantic search for loved ones leads him on a perilous escape across the Mediterranean, only to be met by barbed wire, suspicion, and the chilling insult, “Rentrez chez vous” (“Go back home”).

By swapping the usual roles – turning French citizens into refugees – the song forces listeners to feel the heartbreak, fear, and indignity that displaced people endure every day. It highlights our dual nature (“Les hommes sont capables de merveilles et des pires folies”): we can build iconic landmarks and show compassion, yet also unleash violence and xenophobia. In just a few vivid verses, Bigflo & Oli transform a distant headline into a personal nightmare, urging us to trade judgment for empathy and remember that nobody leaves home unless home has left them first.
