What the song is about

“Est-ce que tu m'aimes ?” (do you love me?) is one of Gims's biggest hits, from 2015. The singer is torn: he's afraid of love, he's made mistakes, he pushes away the person who cares about him — and he keeps asking the same question, unsure of her answer and of his own heart.

It became one of the most-watched French videos on YouTube, and it's a karaoke favourite in France and across French-speaking Africa.

The title is a perfect grammar lesson: “est-ce que” turns any sentence into a yes-or-no question. The song is slow and very clearly sung, built on questions and doubts — ideal for B1.
