I started writing Know Me Better in June 2024, right after listening to Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. I was deeply inspired by its simple yet catchy melodies, but more importantly, by the way she tells a story or conveys a message through her songs. I wanted to create something in that vein, so I sat down at the piano, and the melody came to me surprisingly fast. The lyrics followed just as naturally—Know Me Better felt like an instinctive expression.

With this song, I wanted to explore the theme of appearances and superficiality, especially as portrayed on social media. I wanted to question what it truly means to be understood… But from the first sketches to a fully realized track, the journey was long, and it took the collaboration of several amazing talents to bring it to life.

Once the song was written and produced (by the end of August), I started looking for the perfect singer—and that’s when I found Jaime Deraz. I can’t thank her enough for lending her incredible talent and giving the song its true voice.

Then, after recording Jaime’s stunning vocals, my friend Freddie from MTM Productions stepped in to professionally mix and master the track.

Jaime and Freddie, an enormous THANK YOU to both of you for bringing so much to this project—it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Know Me Better (Feat. Jaime Deraz)

Personne n'est atteint du syndrome de l'imposteur ici, mais il existe de  vrais imposteurs qu'on peut  croiser parfois...
No one here suffers from imposter syndrome, but there are genuine imposters all around, and we sometimes encounter one of them...

TRANSLATION - THE IMPOSTOR
I'm this close to confessing everything
I ‘ve nothing to do with it 
It was all fake, rigged, cunning
I did nothing wrong, but I did nothing right 

I thought It was totally in my wheelhouse 
but this time I must admit
It's just a web of lies
I might give up as well

I'm this close to going to confession
To tell everything to the first one to go by
But if someone coax me a little
I hold on to my bad faith, and it works

I thought It was totally in my wheelhouse 
but this time I must admit
It's just a web of lies
I might give up as well

By twisting the truth in my brain
I ended up believing my own nonsense
Pious wishes / head in the clouds / time has come
To resume my life as an impostor

L'imposteur (with translation)

So I had written an instrumental track called 'The Mural' I said I would put some vocals to.  Without re-arranging the track too much this is what I came up with.  This is no longer a song about a Mural.  I went dark instead!  I cannot remove the hissing from the Guitar Tracks... despite my best efforts.  Hopefully the rest will make up for it!

I tried to believe
In every way forgive me
For fading away
I went to that room today
Where your heart it stayed
And all that I held so dear
Just slipped away
When I begged for you to stay

Hey
While there’s blood in these veins
I’ll be feeling this way

Oh, these blues can’t contain me
You knew how to break me
You swallowed your sorrow
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain

I tried to believe
Remember that Sunday, last May
It was all but a game
I ran from the truth in shame
But I’m not to blame
Cause this is your life
That’s right, not mine to save
When I begged for you to change

Hey
While there’s blood in these veins
I’ll be feeling this way

Oh, these blues can’t contain me
You knew how to break me
You swallowed your sorrow
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain

Yeah, I’d drown in pain
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain
Yeah, I’d drown in pain

Tomorrow You Borrowed

ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT

Written in the heart of winter, “I’m A Queen” was born from a deep craving for warmth, sunshine, and good vibes. I needed something bright, bold, and full of life — like a musical getaway you can sip on like a beachside cocktail.

To bring this vision to life, I teamed up with Rebel Alley (aka Ava King), whose powerful, magnetic voice gave the track all its intensity and soul.

With tropical beats, bold energy, and hooks that stay with you, “I’m A Queen” is an anthem of confidence and self-empowerment. No games, no pretending — the Queen takes her space, sets her own rules, and reminds us that it's never too late to dance, dream, or take the lead.

The music video is out on YouTube, directed by the talented team at NSA Production, with Mylana Malsert as artistic director and lead role — delivering a fierce and radiant performance.

Écrite en plein cœur de l’hiver, “I’m A Queen” est née d’un besoin urgent de chaleur, de lumière et de good vibes. J’avais envie de soleil, d’évasion, de quelque chose qui donne envie de bouger les épaules et de se sentir vivant. J’ai imaginé cette chanson comme un cocktail à siroter sur la plage – un mélange d’énergie solaire et de fierté assumée.

Pour donner vie à cette vision, j’ai eu la chance de collaborer avec Rebel Alley (alias Ava King), dont la voix puissante et magnétique a tout de suite donné à la chanson la force et la sensualité qu’elle méritait.

Avec ses beats tropicaux, son attitude affirmée et ses refrains entêtants, “I’m A Queen” est un hymne à la confiance en soi. Ici, pas de faux-semblants : la Queen prend sa place, impose ses règles, et rappelle qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour danser, rêver ou reprendre le contrôle.

Le clip est dispo sur YouTube, avec une direction artistique signée Mylana Malsert, qui incarne à l’écran une Queen flamboyante. Merci aussi à NSA Production pour leur talent et leur créativité sur ce projet.

Lyrics : 

I see you watching every step I take
Can’t get enough, no way to escape 
You tried to hide it, but it’s too late
I got you baby yeah it’s your fate

I call around you as if I’m a snake
You little mouse don’t make no mistake
And if you’re freaking you ask your mate
I see in him he won’t hesitate

Don’t you dare to let me down
Boy you’re stumbling on the ground 
You can still just walk around
Baby you’re not the only one

Watch me dancing, I’m a queen
You might be falling off the scene
It’s not a game that you know you can win 
It’s way too late to give up
You know you’ll never keep up 
It’s nothing or everything 

You thought my heart was something you could break
But I’m the storm you’ll never outpace
The redemption you baby can’t wait
And in the end, the twist is so great

I am the highest dream you’ll ever make
If you kiss me you’ll never forsake
If you kiss me there’s no time to waste
Baby the cure might be out of date!
