The song was released with a music video that has her unveiling a personal side of herself to her audience : through some old video footage of her childhood, she showcases herself through a vulnerable filter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PN_Wn0KCJjM\" width=\"100%\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\">&lt;span data-mce-type=&#8221;bookmark&#8221; style=&#8221;display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;&#8221; class=&#8221;mce_SELRES_start&#8221;&gt;\ufeff&lt;\/span&gt;<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Later on, we get to hear the tracks &#8220;Soleil Cendres&#8221;, which features David Nuwmami, and then &#8220;En Deux Mots&#8221; \u2013 co-produced by one of the winners of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.haumeamagazine.com\/en\/fair-2022-the-french-support-system-unveiled-its-first-7-prizewinners-for-2022\/\">the French support system FAIR 2022<\/a><\/span> Sacha Rudy.
