Feel like you have to be perfect all the time? Cloetim’s "La Flame Qui Bat Le Froid" turns that pressure into a catchy confession. Over shimmering French electro-pop, the singer admits she has built a glossy persona—“ce personnage que j’ai créé”—so convincing that everyone thinks she is the unstoppable flame that melts any chill. Yet inside, she is terrified of letting people down. By repeating “Ce n’est pas moi” (“That’s not me”), she cracks the polished surface and invites us to see the real, imperfect girl behind the shine.

The song is a reminder that masks can keep us warm for only so long. Cloetim urges listeners to trade impossible expectations for authenticity, because “nobody loves perfect people” when perfection is only an act. "La Flame Qui Bat Le Froid" burns brightly as a modern anthem of vulnerability—encouraging you to drop the extra varnish, be honest about your fears, and let your true self glow.
