Maëlle’s “Toutes Les Machines Ont Un Cœur” imagines our phones, computers and social networks as living beings, each one hiding a secret heartbeat. While catchy synths pulse in the background, the lyrics list likes, emojis and selfies as proof that we feed these gadgets with pieces of our own lives. The French singer addresses her mother directly, admitting that fighting the endless buzz of notifications feels like a daily battle. Yet beneath the screen-glow she hears a rhythm that reminds us we are still human: the digital beat mirrors our own.
The chorus flips the perspective: we are the real engines inside every machine. Maëlle pictures unlimited ideas at her fingertips—sparks, islands, wings—ready to lift the world as long as it fits in her pocket. She warns that both the planet and our hearts are fragile, so we must treat technology as a tool for a “monde meilleur” (better world) rather than an escape. In short, the song is a lively pop anthem urging listeners to stay creative, compassionate and in control of the tech that surrounds them.
