What "Nouméa" means

The song is an emotional and celebratory reflection on overcoming financial struggle and hardship alongside a loyal partner. The artist looks back at difficult times when money was scarce and life was uncertain, expressing deep gratitude to the loved one who stayed through it all. Now that success, wealth, and luxury have been achieved, the narrative shifts toward enjoying the fruits of that labor through international travel and escaping the pressures of urban life together.

Hey, bébé, souviens-toi d'l'été dernier
Hey baby, remember last summer
Yah, à la piscine municipale
Yeah, down at the public swimming pool
Yah, la boule au ventre, j'comptais mes deniers
Yeah, with a knot in my stomach, counting my pennies
Sur l'parking, on a laissé ma caisse en panne
Out in the parking lot, my car broke down for good
