*“Double Je” is a playful self-portrait of someone who keeps trying on identities like costumes. One minute he dreams of being a Bee Gees singer, the next a Formula 1 driver, then maybe a simple shop clerk. While he waits to “grow up” and finally decide, he slips into every color, mood, and role he can imagine, singing in his bathroom and living out mini-fantasies. The repeated line “faudrait savoir ce que tu veux” (“you should know what you want”) shows the pressure he feels from others… but his answer is always “c’est comme ça” (“that’s how I am”).
The song title itself hides a pun: double jeu means “double game,” while double je means “double me.” Christophe Willem celebrates this split personality, admitting he laughs, cries, fears, and desires all at once. Instead of choosing a single path, he embraces contradiction and constant change. “Double Je” is an energetic anthem for anyone who prefers exploring possibilities over settling down, reminding us that uncertainty can be creative, colorful, and fun.
