The song tells the story of the child of a prostitute. The song includes a sample from a teaser for Netflix series Bridgerton.[2] The melody combines baroque sounds and the ardor of Brazilian funk carioca. The song was also used in the soundtrack of video game FIFA 23.[3]
A music video, directed by Henry Scholfield,[4] was released on 7 March 2022.[5] In the video, Stromae portrays a president of a fictional country. He gives a speech at a national funeral for a missing sex worker, surrounded by officers and wreaths, as a military parade and funeral procession unfolds.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
