Need a breather from the pressure to always look fine? “Pause X Kiss” pairs two of France’s most magnetic voices, Eddy De Pretto and Yseult, in a raw confession that feels like pushing the pause button on life’s nonstop performance. Both singers admit they sometimes want to run away from their own reflections, from society’s rule book that says keep smiling, never crack. The refrain “On nous dit d'tenir toujours” (They tell us to always hold on) captures that weight, while the repeated offer “Pose sur mon épaule tes peines” (Lay your wounds on my shoulder) turns the song into a tender pact of mutual rescue.
The plot then zooms in on a love story at its breaking point. Exhaustion, sleepless nights, and haunting déjà-vus lead to one bittersweet decision: share one last kiss before letting go. It is part pep-talk, part breakup letter, all wrapped in pulsing beats and vulnerable harmonies. By the end you feel both the sting of loss and the relief of finally exhaling. “Pause X Kiss” is that cathartic moment when you admit you are tired, you offer a shoulder, and you choose honesty over perfection—set to a soundtrack that begs you to hit replay.
