“Liberté, Égalité, Mbappé!” L.E.J. turn the roar of a soccer crowd into a sharp social snapshot of modern France. The trio mix playful stadium chants with clever word-play, swapping the historic motto Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité for the name of star striker Kylian Mbappé. Behind the fun lies a pointed message: while the nation unites in front of screens for a 4-4-2 formation, politicians slip controversial laws through article 49-3, and people jostle for space without truly seeing one another. Football becomes a mirror reflecting political tension, media frenzy, and the longing for real togetherness.
From Marine Le Pen retweeting Paul Pogba to the hopeful cries on the Champs-Élysées, the lyrics celebrate the moments that make France cheer while questioning whether unity ends with the final whistle. L.E.J. remind us that even when La Gaule a la gueule de bois (France wakes with a hangover), the rooster still sings. Their song invites listeners to puff out their chests like Ntolo Kanté trapping a pass, take responsibility for change “now,” and remember that the true match is not on the pitch but in the way citizens play side by side every day.
