"Cœur" (French pronunciation: [kœʁ], lit. 'Heart') is a song by French singer Zoé Clauzure, released as a single on 27 September 2023. [2]
It was France's winning entry in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023. Zoé Clauzure, aged 13 at the time, won the competition with a total of 228 points, 27 points ahead of second-placed Spain, earning France its second consecutive and third overall victory at the contest.
The song is about school bullying. [3] It was written by Noée Francheteau and composed by Julien Comblat and Jérémy Chapron. [1]
Zoé had previously dealt with the topic in her song "Ma place" (lit. "My Place"), but this new track was more on the "sunny side", [4] delivering a strong positive, supportive message. [5] While not making any direct references to school bullying, [6] the singer encourages the listeners to "move forward towards victory" despite some people wanting to see the listener fail. [5] In the chorus, she communicates the sentiment of togetherness with her listeners and highlights the excitement of performing for them on stage and making their existence known to the world: [5] "My heart beats in rhythm, it beats so fast when I sing for you. When I sing, I want the whole world to see us exist." [7] [8]
According to the singer, she received messages from people saying that her song saved their lives. [9]
On 27 September 2023, France Télévisions announced Zoé had been internally selected to represent France at the 2023 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with her song "Cœur". [10] [11] On the same day, the song was released as a single. [12]
The music video was released online on 18 October 2022 at 18:00 CET. [13] It was directed by Alexandre Saltiel and choreographed by Cain and Céline Kitsaïs (founders of a dance school named Neodance Academy) and Sabrina Lonis. [14] [15]
It has an emphasis on the colors red and white. [16]
The contest took place on November 26 at the Nikaïa Concert Hall in Nice, France. Zoé's stage performance had her surrounded by backing dancers in a "Barbie pink" ambiance. [17]
Zoé Clauzure won the competition, scoring 228 points, ahead of Spain with 201 and Armenia with 180 points. This was France's second consecutive and third overall victory in the contest. [18] [19] [3]
