Ados (which means teenagers in French) is Joseph Kamel’s nostalgic postcard to his very first love. He looks back on those clumsy high-school days when vocabulary was small but feelings were huge, and every late-night phone call felt like eternity. The chorus keeps circling back to that memory: “We were teens, maybe too silly to find the right words, we only had love on our minds.” By repeating the lines, the singer captures how young hearts replay the same thoughts over and over, trying to make sense of emotions that outrun their maturity.
In vivid snapshots he remembers scribbling his first rhymes in his bedroom, stuffing them with movie quotes, then whisper-singing them through a landline. There is sweetness, but also regret. He admits he said things he would never repeat to anyone else, because she was the very first. As the song unfolds, we feel the bittersweet truth: at fifteen you promise “forever” without knowing what life really means. Kamel’s track is a gentle reminder that our earliest romances, however awkward, shape the way we love and learn. It is both a confession and a celebration of youthful innocence that listeners of any age can smile at, nodding, “Yes, I was there too.”
