Et Bam is Mentissaâs big, goose-bump moment. Picture her stepping off the train at Parisâs Gare du Nord in chilly November, hair messy from travel and nerves twisting in her stomach. She is a young Belgian singer about to face an enormous stage, and every heavy heartbeat she feels echoes as the onomatopoeic âet bamâ in the chorus. The song captures that split second when fear meets adrenaline, when a dream finally becomes real and the city of lights stretches wide in front of her.
Beyond the stage fright, Mentissa turns the spotlight on what truly matters to her: family, authenticity and the simple thrill of a racing pulse. Repeating âJe veux pas lâAmĂ©riqueâ (I donât want America), she rejects the clichĂ© of chasing global fame for its own sake. Instead, she sings for her mother, for the friends she has already won, and for the beating heart that sweeps away her tears and doubts. Et Bam is a vibrant anthem for anyone who chooses passion over glitter, daring to stand in front of the world with nothing but a trembling voice and a brave, booming heart.
