Enchanté (Carine) Lyrics

[Intro]
Enchanté, comment allez-vous?
Très bien, merci et vous?
Et vous? Et vous?
Et vous? Et vous? Et vous?


[Verse 1]
Enchanted, delighted to meet you, excited
The people, the music, I want you, consume it
Too simple, this greeting, a ritual, a meeting
The first time impressions, your truest expression

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could reach and hold your hand, I would
If I could live inside this dance, I would
If I could reach and hold your hand, I would
If I could live inside this dance, I would

[Chorus]
Enchanté, comment allez-vous?
Très bien, merci et vous?
Et vous? Et vous?
Et vous? Et vous? Et vous?
Enchanté, comment allez-vous?
Très bien, merci et vous?
Et vous? Et vous?
Et vous? Et vous? Et vous?

[Verse 2]
This feeling, can't lose it, it's better to use it
To find out, discover how we like each other
The mystery, not knowing
Why can't we be showing our secrets, the magic?
Let's reach out and grab it

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could reach and hold your hand, I would
If I could live inside this dance, I would
If I could reach and hold your hand, I would
If I could live inside this dance, I would

[Chorus]
Enchanté, comment allez-vous?
Très bien, merci et vous?
Et vous? Et vous?
Et vous? Et vous? Et vous?
Enchanté, comment allez-vous?
Très bien, merci et vous?
Et vous? Et vous?
Et vous? Et vous? Et vous?


[Bridge]
You come and go my way, let's do this every day
Happy is where I be, so take a ride with me
So come and go my way, let's do this every day
Happy is where I be, so take a ride with me
[Verse 3]
New memories, new faces, subplotted, embrace it
With kisses, "I love you's," below and above you
The details, the levels make me want to revel
Inside your perspective, I swear I'm objective

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could reach and hold your hand, I would
If I could live inside this dance, I would
If I could reach and hold your hand, I would
If I could live inside this dance, I would

[Outro]
Hi, hello, and how are you?
Very well, thank you, and you?
And you? And you?
And you? And you? And you?

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“Enchanté (Carine)” is the ninth track from Fergie’s Double Dutchess. The track was dedicated to Carine Roitfeld, a former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris and working partner of the singer.

Fergie’s child, Axl Jack Duhamel was also featured in this song. As Fergie was playing an original demo of this song, Duhamel picked up on the demo and kept singing the French lyrics. Fergie immediately recorded Duhamel’s vocals with her phone secretly until she got a take that was decent and usable, and it ended up on the final version of the track.

Kendall Jenner was featured in the song’s accompanying music video.

Genius Answer

“Enchaté” is a big collaboration because, first of all, I’m not even in the video! it’s Kendall [Jenner]’s video [laughs], but the song was dedicated to Carine Rotifeld because it reminded me of my album art shoot in Paris with Mert and Marcus and [production designer] Giovanni Bianco. So Carine and I were talking about all things that French girls do to be chic, and so I really dedicated that to her because it was really around that beautiful time of my album art shoot. And we shot the video the next day for “Just Like You” but I was writing “Enchanté” during that time. [My son] Axl’s feature was a completely unplanned thing! I had the song at home and I was listening to it in my speakers, and we had dance parties, so I just put it on casually and it stuck in his head and he started singing it! When you hear your kid singing in French, it just kind of melted my little mommy heart and he was having fun doing it, so recording him doing it—I didn’t see anything wrong with that, it’s an activity for him! I would never put my kid through anything he didn’t want to do, but he was having fun with it! And he sings songs around the house all the time anyways."
