Pourquoi On S'aime is Lola Dubini’s playful eye-roll at the way love stories dominate every film, script, and personal drama. From the opening dialogue about writing a “script,” she pokes fun at the cliché: love is everywhere, always center stage, and people panic if you dare say you have never whispered je t’aime. The verses list the exhausting rituals we all know—staying up all night for a text, chasing scraps of affection—while the chorus chants the big question: Pourquoi on s’aime ? Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?
Yet beneath the sarcasm lies a tender truth. No matter how annoyed, bruised, or lonely we feel, we keep searching for connection. Dubini admits we become “kids up to no good” whenever love calls, because hope is stronger than our frustration. The song is a humorous but honest reminder that even when love’s old songs drive us crazy, we still hit repeat, convinced that the next chorus might finally reveal the answer.
