“Tom” is Bilal Hassani’s vibrant tribute to the quiet kid who finally steps into the spotlight. The French pop star paints a cinematic picture of Tom—once the shy boy hiding at the back of the classroom, now twirling across the dance floor with radiant confidence. Every beat celebrates his transformation: elegant moves, an unbreakable smile, and a newfound pride that lights up the room. Bilal’s upbeat vocals and pulsing production invite us to cheer Tom on, showing that even the most reserved hearts can burst into color when they feel seen.
Below the glittering surface lies a touching message of empathy and support. The singer gently asks Tom to share what weighs on his heart, promising a safe space free of judgment. Through affirmations like “Ça ira” (“It’ll be alright”) and the repeated offer “J’voudrais t’ouvrir mes bras” (“I’d like to open my arms to you”), Bilal reminds listeners that acceptance and kindness can help anyone overcome fear. “Tom” is more than a dance-floor anthem; it is a warm embrace for anyone who has ever felt invisible, urging us all to lift each other up and celebrate our true selves.
