I gotta stay myself
I don't know who I am
So I pretend
The fewer answers I get
The older I grow, obviously
I look outside
People who love each other
Seem happy
The more I try
The further I drift away
I know what I want
I wanna stop thinking about you
That'd be better
I wanna forget the sound of your voice
The depth of your eyes
I wanna stop thinking about you
That'd be better
I wanna forget the sound of your voice
The depth of your eyes
We love like kids
We flee like animals
When the reasons to stay
Collapse like dominoes
I wish we'd said it to each other's face
What we say behind each other's back
Gotta believe it's you
My biggest flaw
I gotta stay myself
I don't know who I am
So I pretend
The fewer answers I get
The older I grow, obviously
I look outside
People who love each other
Seem happy
The more I try
The further I drift away
I know what I want
I wanna stop thinking about you
That'd be better
I wanna forget the sound of your voice
The depth of your eyes
I wanna stop thinking about you
That'd be better
I wanna forget the sound of your voice
The depth of your eyes
I just wanna walk
Anyway nobody's waiting for me
They told me those things
Take time
So I wait

SONG MEANING

Je Veux is Fredz’s confessional ride through the maze of self-doubt and post-breakup obsession. Singing in French while hailing from Norway, he watches happy couples outside his window and wonders why love seems to slip through his own fingers. Each chorus is a mantra of desire: he wants to stop replaying her voice, erase the look in her eyes, and finally feel like himself again. Yet the more he tries, the more that image of her clings to his thoughts, leaving him suspended between nostalgia and the need to move on.

Beneath the catchy flow, the song captures that universal moment when growing older raises more questions than answers. Fredz paints heartbreak as a domino effect—one memory knocks down the next—while he stands waiting for time to heal what effort cannot. The upbeat rhythm contrasts with honest lines about pretending, running away like “animals,” and waiting because “these things take time.” In the end, Je Veux is both a danceable track and a relatable reminder that finding yourself often starts with letting someone else go.
