Mon Regard (which means My Gaze) is Margot Abate’s soulful meditation on feeling out of place in a bruised world. Singing in French, the Peruvian artist contrasts two groups of people: those so jaded that even a simple smile “offends” them, and those who still dare to dream of light, peace, and healing. When she repeats “Mon regard n'est pas fait pour ce monde” (“My gaze is not made for this world”), Margot is not whining. She is confessing that her sensitive eyes see the hurt others ignore and suggesting that this very sensitivity can spark change.
The chorus turns into a rallying cry. If some people try to smother joy, Margot urges the rest of us to “relight the fire” and show that love is contagious. The song’s playful ba-la-pa-pa hook keeps things upbeat, reminding listeners that hope can sound like a party even while it protests. In short, Mon Regard is both a gentle lament and an empowering anthem: it tells anyone who feels “not made for this world” that their unique view is exactly what the world needs to heal.
