Soon, soon
Soon as I pull up, they look sideways
Hood up 'cause I'm too hot
I move with an armed crew
I plan like I'll never die
My love, I'll get home late
Sky-blue Étrier, black 'Rari
They all take tiny steps
Soon as they spot the guitar
I've done regrettable things
That's what you get from always being pissed
Check my crew, lethal
I know the night like the Guettas
Clear customs, nothing to see
Anyway I'm booked all year
We met for just one night
Another little heart to fix
My love, I'll get home late
Sky-blue Étrier, black 'Rari
They all take tiny steps
Soon as they spot the guitar

SONG MEANING

NINAO plunges us into a nocturnal world where GIMS strides in, hood up and entourage in tow, turning every head the moment he appears. The verses paint a vivid picture of superstar life: luxury cars gleam under club lights, bodyguards clear the path, and the strum of a guitar instantly makes the crowd shuffle in tight little steps. Yet between the flexes and the VIP passes, he keeps whispering to a distant lover, "Mon amour, j'vais rentrer tard," hinting at the personal sacrifices hidden behind the flashing cameras.

Beneath the swagger lies a slice of vulnerability. GIMS admits to rash mistakes, sleepless anger, and hearts he did not mean to break while racing from show to show. The song balances Congolese rhythms and French rap bravado to reveal the price of non-stop fame: always on the move, forever booked, forever watched. NINAO is both a victory lap and a confession, reminding listeners that even the most untouchable star still wrestles with regret once the music fades.
