Kyo flips time on its head in Quand Je Serai Jeune (“When I’m Young”). Instead of dreaming about the future, the singer imagines rewinding life so he can reclaim the fearless energy of childhood. He pictures himself grabbing life “like the lions’ share,” standing up to bullies, becoming the football captain, and loving without sarcasm. Every wish begins with When I’m young, a playful paradox that reveals both nostalgia for lost spontaneity and a determination to live more boldly right now.

The chorus — Ce sera mieux avant (“It will be better before”) — hammers home the irony: the remedy for regret is not racing ahead, but rediscovering the courage, curiosity, and kindness we once had. By promising to trade shadows for music, stitch night into origami dresses, and steer a loved one away from reckless choices, the narrator shows that rewinding time is really about rewiring the heart. The song is a vibrant call to unlearn cynicism, protect our inner kid, and make today feel as bright as “before.”
