we’ve been singing the lyrics of his title with Dua Lipa like merguez all this time

Last November, we flew to Hong Kong with Angèle as part of her performance at the Chanel fashion show taking place there — she has been a muse for the French label since 2020. It was an opportunity to wander around the city with the Belgian superstar before his appearance on stage and to re-establish some truths. We started by rectifying the situation regarding the lyrics of his songs. We’ve been wrong from the start and it’s (somewhat) Spotify’s fault.

When asked if she has any songs that have been misinterpreted by the public, the singer does not hesitate: “Oh yes ! “La Thune”, for example”, for which some people would, apparently, sing “Move their green suede panties” rather than “Move their ass for a drink”. It’s more understandable this time, but it’s also the lyrics of “Fever”, his hit with Dua Lipa, which create discord. “It makes me crazy”Angèle snaps.

If we check on Spotify, the lyrics of “Fever” indicate, during Angèle’s verse, “And I know, I know I’m wasting time in your arms.” Is that what you were singing about from the start? Rest assured, so do we. Except, spoiler, it’s false! “I’m not going to say the same word twice! […] It’s: “And I know I’m trying, that I’m wasting time in your arms”explains the Belgian.

There, there are no more excuses now to sing the wrong lyrics about the singer’s next tour, which is coming in not too long if we are to believe the confidences in our long vlog video of Angèle in Hong Kong, in find it right here.
