Ma Valse sweeps us into a whirling journey of self-discovery. ZAZ begins in a dreamlike garden where she is “queen” of her own innocence, feeling the thrill of life bloom like a rose dancing in the wind. Very quickly, though, the music tilts from euphoria to doubt: love beckons, vulnerabilities surface, and an invisible cage of fear tightens around her. Each verse feels like another turn of the waltz — one moment she delights in silky moss beneath her feet, the next she crashes into the “grand vacío” of loneliness, choking on memories and expectations that never seem to fit.
Yet the song is ultimately an anthem of release. Tired of playing the eternal victim, the singer decides to drop her inherited beliefs and rewrite her own rules. She hands her pain back to the earth, accepts the raw hunger to be seen, and declares: “Je lâche prise, j’ose vivre” — I let go, I dare to live. “Ma Valse” invites us to spin with her through light and shadow, then step off the dance-floor lighter, freer, and ready to claim our own rhythm.
