Yea, it was very unconventional when it was it first came out. At first, I thought it would be one of those time filling "cross-over" songs that artists insist on doing, but turned out to be the complete opposite.

The back story of this song is that it was written by Koffi during the U.S tour, before returning to Paris to finalize Effrakata and record clips. He promoted Fally for good behavior with this song, which is why they're wearing the same outfit.  The album was already done, but he added it afterwards.

There are other great post-2000 greats like Destination, Choc, Washington, Pomme verte, Eputsha, Gros BB, but this stands out because how unique it is.

I wonder how the other singers of QL felt when it was just Fally who got to do a song with Koffi and wore the same outfit as him in the video. And how good was Fally's behavior because I'm sure there was others who were disciplined.

i think fally said once that what koffi liked with him is how he never missed a rehearsal or a concert even when sick or tired or whatever except  when he had to bury one of his parents and was given a week off while other sometimes went missing especially after  they gained confidence with their europe tours

What do you say "went missing"? Like were the going around Europe or something and if so how is that bad if they don't overstay the visa? Koffi can't expect them to stay in a hotel room all day.

when they returned from europe they'd skip rehearsals with silly excuses to party and have fun with their sidekicks while some guys like fally were always there
