Angèle turns jealousy into an actual character in this playful yet revealing track. “Jalousie” lets us eavesdrop on the singer’s inner dialogue, where the tiny green-eyed monster whispers: Who’s that girl in the photo? What does she want from him? Suddenly, a harmless picture or text message feels like proof of betrayal. The song shows how quickly doubts can snowball, mixing a pinch of paranoia with real fear of losing someone you love.
Behind its catchy beat, the song is a warning: if you feed jealousy, it can make two perfectly happy people feel sick. Angèle urges us to stomp out those “first sparks” of suspicion before they become a blaze. By naming jealousy aloud and teasing it, she reminds listeners that these worries often live more in our heads than in reality – and that calling them out can be the first step to keeping love healthy and fun.
