Gommer translates to 'to erase' or 'to rub out', coming from the French word for an eraser (une gomme).
In this emotional track, Vitaa sings "Le temps ne semble pas gommer tes fautes" (Time doesn't seem to erase your mistakes). It is a wonderfully visual verb that compares her lingering heartbreak to pencil marks on a page that simply cannot be wiped away.
“À Fleur De Toi” literally means “Close to the surface of you” – the feeling you get when an old romance still tingles on your skin. In this passionate duet, Vitaa and Slimane step into the shoes of two ex-lovers who have tried everything to move on. New partners, new addresses, even new phone numbers… yet the ghost of the past keeps popping up in everyday scents, songs, and memories. Each line is a tug-of-war between reason (“I should forget you”) and raw emotion (“I can’t, I don’t want to”).
The song paints heartbreak like a stubborn perfume that refuses to fade. The new partner is caring, perfect on paper, but simply “doesn’t smell like you.” Every loving gesture feels like patchwork over a wound that refuses to heal. By the end, both singers admit defeat: they are prisoners of yesterday’s love, still à fleur de toi. This makes the track a bittersweet anthem about how the heart ignores logic and how some loves linger no matter how hard we try to erase them.
