In an interview given to Current woman in February 2022, Adriana Karembeu's companion explained that he had been inspired by “a teenage love”. “A young woman with whom I lived a sort of bohemian life, we listened to Bowie in her little room… I couldn't show her that it was serious for me, because I was afraid that it wouldn't be serious for me. She”he detailed. A month later, the artist then revealed that he had seen this woman again at a concert during which she had surprised him by sitting in the audience.

Facing Flavie Flament and Julien Arnaud, Marc Lavoine then explained that, contrary to common belief, “the gun eyes” are not necessarily blue and simply represent the look of the loved one. “Everyone puts on the face they want. Gun eyes are the eyes of all the people we think of when we wake up, when we go to bed, when we walk down the street in the afternoon”he developed. And to conclude: “Eyes are where everything goes. I think it's really wonderful to meet someone and be struck by their eyes.”
