Lettre À Mon Ex is exactly what its title promises: a raw, handwritten message from Kikesa to the one who got away. Over a laid-back beat, the French artist rummages through his bedroom and his memories, confessing that he is “sad and useless tonight.” He flips through old photos, finishes their TV series alone, and even jokes about Walt’s fate in Breaking Bad—all vivid snapshots showing how everyday life keeps poking at the wound.
The song is both bittersweet and relatable. Kikesa swings between nostalgia and self-mockery, admitting he still loves her while reminding himself that they “weren’t headed in the right direction.” He regrets the kisses not given, the gifts never offered, and the time wasted pretending everything was fine. Despite attempts to innovate or isolate himself, her face is “engraved on his eyelids,” haunting his days and nights alike. In short, this track turns post-breakup melancholy into a melodic diary entry, letting learners feel the humor, vulnerability, and lingering hope that love might one day stop hurting.
