Fababy and Aya Nakamura plunge us into a bittersweet romance where two totally different worlds crash into each other and spark. In Love d’un Voyou, Aya plays the studious girl who has just earned her high-school diploma and dreams of university success, while Fababy embodies the street-wise “voyou,” hunted by the police and haunted by the sound of handcuffs. Their back-and-forth verses paint a movie-like scene: textbooks and lecture halls on one side, gang wars and late-night sirens on the other. The chorus repeats like a warning siren of its own – she has “fallen in love with a thug,” and both of them feel the danger creeping closer every day.
Beneath the catchy hook, the song explores big themes that many listeners can relate to: the tug-of-war between love and self-preservation, the hope of escaping a rough environment, and the fear of dragging someone you care about into the darkness with you. Dreams of laughter and sunshine bump up against sleepless nights, police raids, and worried prayers for safety. By blending Fababy’s gritty storytelling with Aya Nakamura’s soulful plea, Love d’un Voyou becomes an emotional roller coaster that asks a simple yet powerful question – can love survive when two paths lead in opposite directions?
