Intro
Boumi'
You know I don't like to do this
I spent too much time
Drowning myself in tears
That I thought I could handle
But I've got no weapons left
My heart's a beginner
You lie to me and I drift away
Stained memories
Our story was a drama
But now it's too hot
My heart in FOMO
Your tears in slow-mo
Memories in shreds
I don't know what I need
I'm listening to my demos
Betrayal for a track
I only talk to my piano
I'm gonna turn up the sound system
Forget myself in the night
Thinking about your flaws again
To my madness
I'm gonna turn up the sound system
Forget what binds us
And rethink all your flaws
To madness
What's the point of starting over
I've lost too much, I've given too much
What's the point of rehashing it all
I've lost everything, I gave you everything
Time has passed
I'm becoming a child again
By letting it all flow
My tears ruined everything
Relearn to love
Relearn to spiral
Your eyes are revolting
To keep on shining
But now it's too hot
My heart in FOMO
Your tears in slow-mo
Memories in shreds
I don't know what I need anymore
I'm listening to my demos
Betrayal for a track
I only talk to my piano
I'm gonna turn up the sound system
Forget myself in the night
Thinking about your flaws again
To my madness
I'm gonna turn up the sound system
Forget what binds us
And rethink all your flaws
To madness
What's the point of starting over
I've lost too much, I've given too much
What's the point of rehashing it all
I've lost everything, I gave you everything
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
I'm gonna turn up the sound system
Forget myself in the night
Thinking about your flaws again
To my madness
I'm gonna turn up the sound system
Forget what binds us
And rethink all your flaws
To madness
What's the point of starting over
I've lost too much, I've given too much
What's the point of rehashing it all
I've lost everything, I gave you everything

SONG MEANING

“À La Folie” is a vibrant pop confession where French singer Adèle Castillon turns the volume up on heartbreak, letting us feel every neon-lit tear of a love gone wrong. Over a pulsing beat, she admits she has “spent too much time drowning in tears” and now feels unarmed, her inexperienced heart caught between FOMO and slow-motion memories that have frayed beyond repair. The repeated vow to monter la sono (crank up the speakers) becomes her battle plan: drown out the past, talk only to her piano, and dance through the night until she forgets the ties that once bound her. “À la folie” usually means loving someone “madly,” yet here it flips into a portrait of emotional madness—obsessively replaying flaws to finally break free. The song’s mix of English hooks and French vulnerability makes the story feel universal: when love burns too hot, the only remedy is to blast your favorite tracks, let the bass shake loose the pain, and learn to love yourself all over again.
