“Rater Une Rupture Pour Les Nuls” literally means “How to Mess Up a Break-Up for Dummies,” and Iliona turns that cheeky title into a heartfelt diary entry. In the verses she relives a breakup where her partner quickly paints her as the “crazy one” while bragging to friends. We hear memories of late-night lies, missed milestones, and the cruel way he poked at her deepest fears. The song feels like scrolling through a private text thread filled with sorry-notsorry messages, cigarette smoke, and tear-stained dance floors.
Yet the chorus flips the mood from victim to victor. Iliona admits she never wanted the relationship to end like this, but each line shows her reclaiming herself: quitting cigarettes, going out again, daring to trust new people, and healing “one trauma at a time.” By the final refrain she is no longer “minable” (pathetic) but empowered, spotting “a new path” inside herself that was hidden before. The result is an anthem for anyone who has ever tried to stage a “perfect” breakup, failed spectacularly, and discovered something stronger on the other side.
