Kitoko is a fascinating word because it's not French, but rather from Lingala, a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo. It means "beautiful" or "pretty."
In the song, GIMS introduces a character as "Miss Kitoko," immediately giving her an exotic and captivating aura. This choice of word highlights the artist's Congolese heritage and adds a unique cultural flavor to the lyrics, making it stand out from typical French vocabulary.
