Bande Annonce drops us straight into the dramatic universe of a betrayed fairy who chooses darkness over forgiveness. Through cinematic lines like “Avant le coucher du soleil, le jour de son seizième anniversaire, elle tombera dans un sommeil éternel,” the singer retells the legend of Maleficent: a powerful being robbed of her wings, burning with hurt, and ready to unleash a curse on an innocent child. The lyrics play with contrasts ‑ beauty versus ugliness, innocence versus vengeance ‑ to question what really makes someone maléfique.
Rather than a simple villain’s monologue, the song invites listeners to explore the grey area between good and evil. With invocations to “toutes les créatures de l’ombre” and a taunting “Est-ce vrai? Êtes-vous maléfique?”, Maléfique challenges us to confront our own shadows. The result is a spellbinding anthem about loss, rage, and the seductive pull of retribution, all framed in a theatrical French narrative that feels like the trailer to an epic dark fairy-tale movie.
