"Tous les mêmes" (French for '[They Are] All the Same') is a song by Belgian singer Stromae, released on 23 September 2013. The song has peaked at number one on music charts in both Belgium and France.

Music video

The music video, directed by Henry Scholfield, was released on YouTube on 18 December 2013 and features Stromae partly dressed as a woman. The track shows the life of female Stromae, annoyed as she is with the attitude of men and what they do. Throughout the video, Stromae depicts various stereotypical remarks women make about men, accompanied by the non-verbal cues the other characters in the video make. However, when he switches to his other side that represents men, various stereotypical remarks that men make about women and relationships get expressed as well. The lighting effects in the video (green light for male Stromae, pink light for female Stromae) aid the interpretation of the song. The video has received over 446 million views as of September 2024.[1]
