Héléna talks about the “Bad Garcon” of her song: “it was a bit like Voldemort”

A big hit for Héléna Bailly!

It’s already been a week since Héléna released her new song “Mauvais Garçon”a title decidedly more rock than the pop and romantic ballads in which we discovered the world of the young singer. And so much the better: with “Bad Boy“, we discover a much darker Hélénawhich addresses a fairly powerful theme that many people could relate to: toxic relationships.

And unfortunately, the young woman was able to draw inspiration from her personal experience to seek inspiration. During an interview published in the Gala lines on Friday November 22, the one who has already had to add new dates to her tour confided in complete privacy about a former lover, who would not have been the most tender with She when she was only 16 :

“I knew what I wanted to talk about, about a bad boy, what I wanted to tell. I was with Vincha (editor's note: his songwriter) and (…) I directly showed the conversation that I had with 'bad boy' with the not very nice messages that I may have received and reading them, I told myself that at 16, it wasn't nice and I felt angry, telling myself that I didn't deserve that, that how could I have stayed. I was angry, and from that feeling came the song.” – Héléna Bailly

A nice revenge against a toxic ex

A not very pleasant memory, but which allowed the singer to know what she wanted to address in her songs, she who has long had a blockage on her texts and her relationship to writing. If his ex remains painful for a moment, he has become a source of inspiration for a song that has everything to become the new hit of the year!

“Yes, I have lots of things to say and lots of ideas. I love finding themes, and looking for the way to formulate words. For Bad Boy, I told Vincha that 'bad boy', the house, we didn't say his first name, it was a bit like Voldemort, no one dares to talk about him by pronouncing his name. So there is the idea of ​​the theme and the angle. – Héléna Bailly

If this bad boy can allow the Belgian singer to hit the charts, then it's a great revenge!
