Ooh
Another night at the hotel
Beriz
More people harassing me
Ooh
With time nothing stops my pain
When it's not you waking me up
I'm too sentimental
That's why I keep causing myself
Hurt
Despite my crazy lifestyle
Hellish
I can't do without you
I'm too sentimental
You should see how I talk to her
At night
Despite my crazy lifestyle
Hellish
I can't do without you
We dress up
We avoid and flee
So that's how we are
In the end
Even if it's not very legal
I'm too sentimental
That's why I keep causing myself
Hurt
Despite my crazy lifestyle
Hellish
I can't do without you
I'm too sentimental
You should see how I talk to her
At night
Despite my crazy lifestyle
Hellish
I can't do without you
Will I get away with it
I can't back out anymore
My feelings for you just
Keep sparkling
And despite our desires
Your heart resented me
Spare me your drama
It's too late, mama
Baby mama
Baby mama
I know deep down you know
That my heart's been ripped out
Baby mama
Baby mama
Deep down, you know it well
My heart is hurt
I'm too sentimental
That's why I keep causing myself
Hurt
Despite my crazy lifestyle
Hellish
I can't do without you
I'm too sentimental
You should see how I talk to her
At night
Despite my crazy lifestyle
Hellish
I can't do without you
We dress up
We avoid and flee
So that's how we are
In the end
Not very legal

SONG MEANING

Picture this: Gims is on yet another sleepless night in a hotel room, surrounded by the buzzing chaos of fame, flights and phone calls. Even with a “train d’vie de fou” (a crazy lifestyle), his thoughts drift to one person who is miles away. The verses paint a movie-like scene where the superstar’s glittering schedule cannot muffle the quiet ache of missing someone. Every city lights up, every crowd screams his name, yet his loneliness grows louder than the applause.

The chorus is his confession: “J’suis trop sentimental.” Being overly emotional is both his superpower and his downfall. He and his lover keep playing hide-and-seek, “on se déguise… on se fuit,” pretending they can move on, but they always circle back. It is messy, possibly “pas très légal,” and definitely addictive. The song is a cocktail of vulnerability, stubborn attachment and late-night regret, showing that behind Gims’ larger-than-life persona beats a heart that cannot let go. Listeners are invited to dance, sing and, above all, feel every shimmering heartbeat along with him.
