“Appelle ta copine” (Call Your Girlfriend) throws us straight into a neon-lit night out with GIMS, the Congolese-French hit-maker who knows how to turn any city street into a dance floor. The pulsing poum, tcha, tcha beat is the soundtrack to a smooth invitation: tell your friend to tag along, because tonight is all about chilling in style. GIMS compliments a mysterious “beauté assassine” (killer beauty), cruises in a Ferrari, and casually reminds us that his music is so catchy it makes “even the racists dance.” It is playful, boastful, and irresistibly upbeat.
Beneath the swagger, the song celebrates confidence and freedom. GIMS puts the listener “on the top of the pile,” promising VIP treatment and urging everyone to drop their worries, show their best moves, and seize the moment. The result is a flirty anthem of nightlife, luxury, and unstoppable rhythm—perfect for practicing French while you imagine city lights flashing past the windshield.
