People talk to me

I'm staring into space

They don't know how

Bad my gut hurts

Nor how you shot

Right on target

I really thought

That it could work

I'm too naive

All the stares

The things we promised each other

Before leaving each other solo

With nothing but problems

In my head

For me, love

Is only in books

It's in lame movies on TV

I remember little details

Like the first time

We f*cked to 'Au DD'

An outrage

At 220 in the ride

We thought our relationship

Was solid

I don't see what I could've

Done differently

Because of dad

I have no role model

So if it's not you

I'm the problem

And if it's not me

You're the problem

And if it's not us

What's the problem

Because of dad

I have no role model

So if it's not you

I'm the problem

And if it's not me

You're the problem

And if it's not us

What's the problem

People comfort me

But I don't trust them

I cry myself empty

To water your arid heart

And I saw our love pass by

In a hearse

I didn't believe in its death

Like Cotillard

Thousands of regrets

And 'I love yous' in my head

If in my heart

I can't hear the cicadas sing anymore

It's 'cause I burned

My wings like Icarus

And I don't have the heart to party anymore

So I'll do without you

And if you're happy, that kills me

If you drink to my health

Why am I the one who feels it all

Because of dad

I have no role model

So if it's not you

I'm the problem

And if it's not me

You're the problem

And if it's not us

What's the problem

Because of dad

I have no role model

So if it's not you

I'm the problem

And if it's not me

You're the problem

And if it's not us

What's the problem

SONG MEANING

Ever felt lost after a breakup, wondering what went wrong? Algerian-Canadian singer Zaho and French rapper La Fouine perfectly capture that feeling in their powerful duet, "Problème." The song is a raw conversation between two ex-lovers trying to understand why their once-solid relationship fell apart. They're stuck in a painful loop, asking:

Was it my fault? Was it your fault? If it wasn't our fault, then what was the problem?

They believe the root of their issues comes from their childhoods. In the chorus, they sing, "À cause de baba, J'ai pas d'modèle," which means "Because of dad, I have no role model." Without a healthy example of love to follow, they find themselves lost, blaming each other, and feeling like real love only exists in movies. Full of emotional metaphors, like a love carried away in a hearse, "Problème" is a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever tried to navigate the complicated map of a relationship without a guide.
