Outété Lyrics in English Keen'V

Ever had a "friend" who vanished when you needed them most, then popped back up the moment you found success? That is exactly the situation Keen'V describes in “Outété.” The song opens with a playful skit: Kevin is working hard, while Joe suddenly shows up asking for the fifty euros he once lent. This lighthearted banter sets the scene for a catchy, tropical beat that hides a sharper message. Throughout the chorus, Keen'V keeps repeating “Redis-moi où t’étais quand pour moi tout était difficile” (“Remind me where you were when everything was hard for me”), calling out the fair-weather friend who is quick to reappear now that things look brighter.

Behind the feel-good melody lies a lesson in self-respect and boundaries. Keen'V reminds listeners not to let opportunistic people treat them like a “poupée” (doll) they can pick up and drop. With witty lines comparing the returnee to a summer mosquito and a spinning weather vane, the singer makes it clear: if you were not there in the struggle, do not expect a slice of the success. “Outété” is both a dance-floor invitation and an empowering reminder to surround yourself with genuine supporters, not those who only show up when it is convenient for them.
