Intro

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

No, no, no

I can't promise you anything

I showed up

One night like a comet

I'd rather be honest

I'm about to commit

I want us to get to know each other

Before we start

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And I didn't see you coming

You tapped my shoulder like

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And when you looked away

I lost your attention

I prefer when you're here

It's true I open up without saying

I love you

But I can't picture myself without you

I'm back from a mission

You ask questions

I'll be there for you

Sometimes it's ego

Sometimes it's mektoub

Sometimes it's one word too many

But no turning back

No, no, no

I can't promise you anything

I showed up

One night like a comet

I'd rather be honest

I'm about to commit

I want us to get to know each other

Before we start

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And I didn't see you coming

You tapped my shoulder like

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And when you looked away

I lost your attention

I put it in reverse

For miles

On fire like the comet

I came back to the scene

Just like a criminal

I remember the house

Seventh arrondissement

View of the Eiffel Tower

I ordered food

The delivery guy busted me like

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

I know your little heart's fragile

I'll try to be careful

It's a long journey

A journey where you shouldn't trust

Everything you see

So no turning back

No, I can't promise you anything

I showed up

One night like a comet

I'd rather be honest

I'm about to commit

I want us to get to know each other

Before we start

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And I didn't see you coming

You tapped my shoulder like

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And when you looked away

I lost your attention

I can't promise you anything

I showed up one night

Like a comet

I'd rather be honest

I'm about to commit

SONG MEANING

COMÈTE shines a blazing love story that streaks across the night sky just like its title. GIMS presents himself as a comet: sudden, dazzling, a little dangerous. He admits he can promise nothing, yet his arrival shakes the listener’s world, tapping them on the shoulder and stealing their attention. The song’s pulsing beat mirrors that rush of first contact, when eyes lock and time seems to freeze.

Behind the flash there is honesty and vulnerability. GIMS wants to slow things down, to learn to know each other before we start, because he knows how fragile hearts can be. Throughout the lyrics he wrestles with ego, destiny (mektoub) and the fear of saying too much. He retraces kilometres like a guilty traveller returning to the scene, hoping to keep the spark alive even if it might disappear at any moment. COMÈTE reminds us that love is a risky journey, but the brilliance of the flight can make every second worth it.
