Pomme’s “J’suis Pas Dupe” is a delicate French folk-pop gem that turns the spotlight on a smooth talker whose fantasies are as dazzling as they are hollow. The singer peers into her lover’s eyes only to discover “les plus beaux mensonges,” blue moons and dried-up seas – poetic images that sound enchanting but ring false. Each lie is like a knot, and while the storyteller keeps spinning bigger tales, the flowers on Pomme’s skirt “fly away,” a whimsical way of showing how empty words blow everything real into the wind.
At its heart, the song is an anthem of clear-eyed self-respect. By repeating “J’suis pas dupe” (I’m not fooled), Pomme refuses to let ego-driven make-believe pass for love. She sends the pretender packing, confident that authentic happiness exists far from such deceit. The result is a light, catchy reminder that recognizing a lie is the first step toward true freedom.
