Letissie describes the brooding track as an ode to the Greek myth, while comparing the legend to modern society's obsession with taking selfies.

"It's an old, very old story, that comes from greek mythology : Narcissus walks by the water, falls in love with his own reflection, and finally drowns.

I walk down the streets and notice more and more people adjusting their phone to take a better picture—two years ago, I accumulated weird self-portraits, as if it could eventually alter my own face.

But there's something even more interesting in this Narcissus myth: Echo, the nymph who loves him and who doesn't get any of his attention. The legend says she died without being seen once by the man she adored. Only her voice remained, endlessly repeating itself.

A pop song is like a sophisticated echo, and I felt like her sometimes, when you didn't even care to look at me...  I'm just like everyone else : I put my face on camera to be sure I'm even here at all. 'Can you see me ? Can you see me?'"

Letissie has been lauded by the likes of Lorde, Madonna and producer Mark Ronson, and is already a major star in her native France. It's only a matter of time before she's embraced by America.
