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.
