Ma Beauté is Gims’s heartfelt confession and desperate love letter rolled into one. Over a smooth Afro-pop beat that blends his Congolese roots with French urban flair, the singer admits he has “ruined everything” and now haunts himself like a ghost. He pleads with his beloved—whom he calls ma beauté—not to walk away, repeating that he deserves the pain of wandering the streets alone yet still dreams of winning her back.
The lyrics swing between raw regret and fierce determination. One moment he is “crying like a kid,” the next he promises to change the game, carry the weight of their future on his shoulders, and even offer her the moon. This push-and-pull captures the universal struggle of seeking redemption after hurting someone we love. In short, the song is an emotional roller-coaster that reminds us it’s never too late to grow, apologize, and fight for a second chance—if only the other person will believe in us one more time.
