Was the song with openly racist lyrics “I won’t leave” removed from TikTok? The platform told BFM Tech&Co that it had already deleted two versions of this music present in thousands of videos. ” The teams Trust and Safety have deleted this sound and are continuing their efforts to ensure that it no longer appears,” TikTok confirms to Le Parisien.

“Two scenarios exist, some videos use the same audio source, it is therefore simple to delete it, in the second case, multiple sources exist and they must therefore be deleted individually,” details the social network. Videos using deleted tracks remain online, but without sound.
This Thursday, this song could still be found on several contents, such as the video of the president of the Reconquest party! Éric Zemmour: he is filmed tapping to the rhythm of “I will not leave”, the words of which remained audible this afternoon.
Music broadcast on several platforms
“I won’t leave” refers to a viral video in which a man can be seen shouting this phrase at the time of his arrest. Signed by an artist named “Crazy-Girl”, this music was allegedly created by Artificial Intelligence and was widely shared in far-right communities.
The openly racist lyrics call for the expulsion of foreigners: “I won’t leave, yes you will leave, and sooner than you think, we’ve given you enough (…) You will leave with your Fatma, the RSA is over for you, the boat won’t wait, believe me you will leave (…) When Bardella passes, you will go back home, you will put on your djellaba, you will be able to pray all day long, you are starting to get on our nerves.”
These words contravene the rules of use of the social network: “harassment and hateful content have no place on our platform. The protection of our community is our top priority,” TikTok assures Le Parisien.
This song was posted on other social networks, like X or Instagram, where it can still be heard.
“Unacceptable remarks”
SOS Racisme denounced “unacceptable remarks” which “must be immediately removed from all digital platforms.” The association states that it has “filed a complaint for incitement to hatred. We call for vigilance from everyone and the application of exemplary sanctions.”
Other music with racist lyrics has been created in recent days, such as “Remigration”, in which we can hear: “The suitcases are full to bursting, the djellabas are folded, the hookah is dismantled, Fatima ready to take off”. And in the title “Fatal Bardella”, we can hear: “Dude it’s the Comoros, it feels like Bamako, damn the red light districts have become worse than the Congo”.
According to our information, Licra must for its part make a report against this phenomenon.
Not yet a campaign event
If the title therefore causes a lot of talk on social networks and is widely relayed by far-right sympathizers, it has not yet had much resonance in the political class, despite the intense campaign opposing the Nouveau Popular Front and the National Rally.
On the left, this Thursday afternoon, only the communist Fabien Roussel was publicly moved by this racist song. And on And added: “This is where Jordan Bardella will take us if the French vote for the RN candidates”.
