Compliquè throws you into a neon-lit journey where love whispers Je t’aime while the streets shout compliqué. Rhove teams up with Shiva and Ghali to paint a bilingual picture of nightlife outside Milan, slipping from Italian into French the way city kids slip between cultures. The trio celebrate the rush of the club and the warmth of home, yet every tender moment is shadowed by flashing blue lights, old problems and new money.
At its heart the song is a tug-of-war between affection and survival: protect your people, chase your dreams, but never forget how quickly the pavement can crumble. Lines like “Strada dolce casa” (“The street, sweet home”) and “Non ti abituare mai a me” (“Never get used to me”) admit that even devotion has an expiry date when the neighbourhood is this unforgiving. Compliquè is a catchy reminder that in certain postcodes romance, ambition and danger all dance to the same beat — and sometimes the only way to say it is with a mix of languages, a heavy bass line and a fearless Je t’aime.
