It's true I feel like
I'm always talking about love
But the ones who talk about it most
Are the ones who don't have much of it
We're taught how much it costs
We're not even taught
That the finest proof of love
Is loving yourself
And if your heart's made of titanium
So compliments can't get in
Time passing is a b*stard
Give yourself what the others
Don't give you
You can travel looking for yourself
Somewhere
You're your own best sunset
But by loving others so much
You'll end up forgetting yourself
Rise up
You'll see this chill will go away
Like when it makes you cry
In Zahira's arms
Rise up
You'll see this chill will go away
Like when it makes you cry
In Zahira's arms
And if my heart
Comes back from elsewhere
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
In the worst
As in the best
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
Sometimes I'm hurting
Sometimes I bleed
Sometimes I love myself
Sometimes I don't love myself
Sometimes I'm hurting
Sometimes I bleed
Sometimes I love myself
Sometimes I don't love myself
Tough love, always love except
When it's about self-love
We're so close to ourselves
And far at the same time
You spend your time helping people
But you lose even more of your dark sides
City, art, peace, stay near people
Filled by people's hearts
Myself, my love
Hard to say, I admit
But I'm learning from now on
To love myself day after day
Rise up
You'll see this chill will go away
Like when it makes you cry
In Zahira's arms
Rise up
You'll see this chill will go away
Like when it makes you cry
In Zahira's arms
And if my heart comes back from elsewhere
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
In the worst as in the best
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
Sometimes I'm hurting
Sometimes I bleed
Sometimes I love myself
Sometimes I don't love myself
Sometimes I'm hurting
Sometimes I bleed
Sometimes I love myself
Sometimes I don't love myself
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
Sometimes I'm hurting
Sometimes I bleed
Sometimes I love myself
Sometimes I don't love myself
Sometimes I'm hurting
Sometimes I bleed
Sometimes I love myself
And sometimes I don't love myself

SONG MEANING

Amour Propre is Zaho’s heartfelt reminder that the very first love story we need to write is the one with ourselves. Over a smooth, urban-pop beat, the Algerian-Canadian singer talks to anyone who feels their compliments bounce off a titanium heart. She points out that society loves pricing romance, yet rarely teaches us that “the most beautiful proof of love is to love yourself.” In vivid images of sunsets, tears, and icy loneliness, Zaho urges us to rise above daily doubts, wrap our own arms around our fears, and give ourselves what others sometimes withhold.

The song is a journey from self-neglect to self-care. Zaho admits she, too, swings between confidence and self-criticism— “Sometimes I love myself, sometimes I don’t.” Still, she promises, “Ça ira” (it’ll be alright), because healing begins the moment we choose ourselves. The message is clear: help others, but never forget to refill your own heart first. When the cold passes and you stand taller, you will discover that you are your best sunset, your own warm embrace, and the lasting proof that self-love really can change everything.
