Personne is a witty yet hard-hitting wake-up call. Over an upbeat, crowd-pleasing instrumental, Bigflo & Oli list a whirlwind of harsh realities: homeless youth under a bridge, addicts chasing relief, lonely pop stars, political hypocrisy, wars in Syria and Palestine, environmental fears, even their own mother’s fight against cancer. Every line is a snapshot of pain or injustice the duo wants to spotlight, but the catchy chorus keeps repeating that “nobody listens to the lyrics.”
The song is a clever paradox. It sounds like a party anthem—hands in the air, pan-pan-pan ad-libs—yet its true goal is to expose how easily serious messages get drowned out by the search for easy fun, flashy bodies, and mindless hooks. Bigflo & Oli challenge us to break the cycle: enjoy the beat, but keep our ears and hearts open to the stories hidden inside the music.
