Yeah, I started by making videos on Insta'

17 years old, in a car, I do covers and I settle in

Instability or rather destabilized

Until the day Abou, my producer, tells me I'm qualified

In truth, I meditated, I'm looking for where to go

We release 'Attentat', we see that the reviews are mixed

A downpour of criticism but I'm a tough woman

Caught in a media storm, I have a shower of fans

You are my stars, I'm just your king

You did all the work, I just made a choice

I just told my life on a piece of paper

It's you who write my story when you sing it

I'd be the biggest ingrate if I don't say 'thank you, thank you'

We'll go from La Cigale to Bercy

Every day, I think of you, even when I'm off

I have the best team, it's all love

I'd be the biggest ingrate if I don't say 'thank you, thank you'

We'll go from La Cigale to Bercy

You shut the salty mouths of all those people

Who told me 'Imen, give it up, you'll break your teeth'

I had childhood dreams, I have adult problems

I wanted to touch the stars, you are my catapult

I want to meet you, tell you everything

When they bring me down, I'm overwhelmed but you lift my spirits

Sometimes I smile, sometimes I'm in a pensive mood

They try to ruin me, you are my bandages

You are my stars, I'm just your king

You did all the work, I just made a choice

I just told my life on a piece of paper

It's you who write my story when you sing it

I'd be the biggest ingrate if I don't say 'thank you, thank you'

We'll go from La Cigale to Bercy

Every day, I think of you, even when I'm off

I have the best team, it's all love

I'd be the biggest ingrate if I don't say 'thank you, thank you'

We'll go from La Cigale to Bercy

My heart beats before going on stage

When I hear 'Imen Es, my beauty, you're the best'

My heart beats before going on stage

When I hear 'Imen Es, my beauty, you're the best'

My heart beats before going on stage

Today, I'll tell you 'My team, you're the best'

My heart beats before going on stage

Today, I'll tell you 'My team, you're the best'

I just told my life on a piece of paper

It's you who write my story when you sing it

I'd be the biggest ingrate if I don't say 'thank you, thank you'

We'll go from La Cigale to Bercy

Every day, I think of you, even when I'm off

I have the best team, it's all love

I'd be the biggest ingrate if I don't say 'thank you, thank you'

We'll go from La Cigale to Bercy

Every day, I think of you, even when I'm off

I have the best team, it's all love

I'd be the biggest ingrate if I don't say 'thank you, thank you'

We'll go from La Cigale to Bercy

catapulte — catapult

Catapulte literally means "catapult" in English. It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected word to find in a modern French song, making it memorable.

In the song, Imen Es uses it metaphorically to describe her fans. She sings, "J'voulais toucher les étoiles, c'est vous ma catapulte" (I wanted to touch the stars, you are my catapult). This powerful image conveys how her fans are the force that propels her towards her dreams and helps her achieve success, elevating a simple thank you into a vivid expression of gratitude.

In "Merci," which means "Thank You" in French, Imen Es delivers a heartfelt tribute to her fans, tracing her journey from humble beginnings to stardom. She recalls starting out at 17, singing covers in her car and posting videos on Instagram, feeling unstable and unsure of herself. Despite facing a "shower of criticism" for her early work, she found strength and an even bigger "rain of fans" who became her support system.

This song is a powerful declaration of gratitude. Imen Es sees her fans as the true stars and the authors of her story. She believes she just writes her life down on paper, but it's her fans who bring it to life when they sing along. They are her "catapult" to the stars and her "bandages" when critics try to bring her down. The repeated promise, "We'll go from La Cigale to Bercy," isn't just a personal ambition; it's a shared dream with the very people who made it all possible.
