Long-distance memories, unfinished dreams. In "Nous Deux" ("The Two of Us"), French artist Ridsa opens his heart to an ex he still loves. Both have moved on, started new relationships, even imagined different futures, yet every line is charged with the same question: Will anything ever compare with what we had? The singer revisits shared plans of marriage and children, confesses his jealousy of her new partner, and admits that her perfume still lingers on his pillow. He is torn between letting go and believing destiny will bring them back together.
Why this song feels so real: Ridsa uses direct questions and repeated phrases to mirror the loop of thoughts after a breakup. He blames no one, recognizes the “fusion” they once enjoyed, and hesitates at the idea that it could truly be over. "On s'retrouvera un jour, ça aussi c'est Dieu qui sait" – “We will meet again one day, only God knows” – captures the blend of faith, hope, and uncertainty that keeps their story alive. The result is a bittersweet anthem about love’s stubborn afterglow and the possibility that the last page has yet to be written.
