Fast cars, flashing lights, and eyes everywhere… In “Piano,” French rapper Werenoi teams up with superstar GIMS to paint the picture of a life lived in the spotlight. They juggle luxury rides (switching from a showy coupé sport to a discreet Mercedes Viano), crowds of eager fans, and the constant pressure of people watching every move and every watch. Despite the speed and glitter, the repeated hook “Bébé piano, on va y aller piano” reminds us that piano in Italian means slowly. It is their playful way of saying: relax, follow our lead, but keep up if you can.
The song is a clever contrast between high-octane hustle and careful discretion. On one hand, the verses brag about expensive tech, hotel suites, and entourage energy. On the other, the artists warn of the dangers that come with fame: envy, gossip, and the ultimatum to “sign the bill or sign your death warrant.” The line “in a world where the guitar sings louder than the piano” hints at how loud, showy trends often drown out subtle talent. In short, “Piano” is a glossy yet cautionary anthem about living big, staying alert, and pacing yourself in a game where everyone wants a piece of the melody.
