"Fils de joie" (English: "Son of joy") is a song by Belgian musician Stromae. It is the third single from his album Multitude, which was released on 4 March 2022. The 7-inch single was released on 23 June 2022.[1]
The song tells the story of the child of a prostitute. The song includes a sample from a teaser for Netflix series Bridgerton.[2] The melody combines baroque sounds and the ardor of Brazilian funk carioca. The song was also used in the soundtrack of video game FIFA 23.[3]
A music video, directed by Henry Scholfield,[4] was released on 7 March 2022.[5] In the video, Stromae portrays a president of a fictional country. He gives a speech at a national funeral for a missing sex worker, surrounded by officers and wreaths, as a military parade and funeral procession unfolds.[3]
