"Cœur" (French pronunciation: [kœʁ], lit. 'Heart') is a song by French singer Zoé Clauzure, released as a single on 27 September 2023.[2]
It was France's winning entry in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023. Zoé Clauzure, aged 13 at the time, won the competition with a total of 228 points, 27 points ahead of second-placed Spain, earning France its second consecutive and third overall victory at the contest.
The song is about school bullying.[3] It was written by Noée Francheteau and composed by Julien Comblat and Jérémy Chapron.[1]
Zoé had previously dealt with the topic in her song "Ma place" (lit. "My Place"), but this new track was more on the "sunny side",[4] delivering a strong positive, supportive message.[5] While not making any direct references to school bullying,[6] the singer encourages the listeners to "move forward towards victory" despite some people wanting to see the listener fail.[5] In the chorus, she communicates the sentiment of togetherness with her listeners and highlights the excitement of performing for them on stage and making their existence known to the world:[5] "My heart beats in rhythm, it beats so fast when I sing for you. When I sing, I want the whole world to see us exist."[7][8]
According to the singer, she received messages from people saying that her song saved their lives.[9]
