Stromae lost his father to the Rwandan genocide in 1994, when Stromae was only 9 years old. The song becomes every emotional when he presents it live on stage, you can hear in his voice that he's about to crumble almost every time.

"this one" (who is super serious) yeah because she understands the song smh

Did she just tell a black man his tan is wrong? Also the middle girl was immensely disrespectful. To the point it was upsetting to watch this. I think they all missed the point of the song and video

This song makes me cry everytime. It's a masterpiece !!!

Your are not even trying to understand the meaning of the song (except the girl on the left, thanks to you). The words are really deep. Stromae is talking about his father who was absent, that’s why he’s like a giant doll. «Your spray tan is wrong».... girl, he’s african. Come on, a bit of sense won’t hurt....

Where is my father Where is he hiding. Without him i cant speak I've waited, I've counted my fingers a million times. Where are you father.

Stromae is French Verlan, it's slang, featuring inversion of syllables in a word, it means maestro.

0:29 "Stormae, he is Belgian but he is French!" What? What kind of fuckery is that sentence?😂😂🤷‍♂️

This song I can relate to since I never knew much of my father in my childhood, so emotional

Cette chanson à un sens si vous ne mettez pas les paroles vous allez pas en comprendre son sens ,sauf si vous restez attentif au clips vidéo.

Une musique très touchante pour les gens qui ont peu de lien avec leurs père

Hes truly master. The beat and video doesnt fit the lyrics at all. Its very upbeat but if you understand what he says, it completely doesnt fit. I believe its his view on the modern dating scene with all the hookups/single moms combined with losing your father in wars. Basically its about not having a father (not both parents, it also applies to not having a mother). Comes from him losing father when he was young.

I love this song idk why I'm obsessed

It's easy to tell who actually uses their brain in this video

So Amazing 😍💖

This song gets me crying.

Where are you dad? Where are you? In the music clip the small guy is the singer when he was young and asked many times .... papaoutai... dad where are you? The "doll" is his father he imagined because the singer's father went missing in a war during his early childhood. The singer subsequently fled to Belgium with his mother as a 9 year old. The song is a tribute to his father whom he never really knew. It is a processing song.

I am always a bit disappointed when I see people "react" to this song without taking the time to pay attention to the lyrics and meanings. Props to the girl on the left for using her brain.

Wonder why she stopped posting The proof is all here

You should react to "Loic Nottet- Million eyes" he's belgian too, he's an amazing singer and dancer. You like Kpop so i think you'll like Loic :) and his music are really emotional

It turns out Stromae lost his father during the Rwandan Genocide, it was so sad and devastating for him

After 10 second why i can't control my eyes, turn in to auto left mode and can't get away from it 👍

Lovvv stromaeee

If you don’t know what it means look it up cause the meaning is very strong and It’s a good song

Stromae never knew his dad, so he made a song about that. Papaoutai means: Dad where are you?

Never realised people doing drugs and shit in music videos is fine but dancing in pairs is "ew"

The middle girl can honestly kick rocks bc she is so irritating💯🤦🏾‍♀️

The girl in the middle isn't...very smart, is she? Props to the one on the left though !
