Background and writing
Gims, as usual, had several melodies on his cell phone. Among other things, he had that of Désolé. He played it for the composer of the group Wisla, then played it on the piano. He keeps the instrumental, telling himself that he would put it on a mixtape and add shots to it from behind. He played the instrumental to Black M, Barack Adama and Dawala.[4]
Black M called Gims crazy and came up with an idea to improve the product. He wanted Lefa, Gims, Black M and Barack Adama to each pose an 8 bar verse that would be separated from each other by the chorus. This piece created a little controversy following the sentence "When I see what this land of kouffar has done to you".
Désolé was a great success and the object of parodies like that of Les Guignols on 22 May 2012, the one on Raymond Domenech in NRJ's Le 6/9, or the parody of Kevin Razy with the "Sexion d'homo".

Music video
The clip tells several stories. A young man is distressed by his parents (the mother is played by the actress nominated for César Awards, Isabelle Renauld) who are constantly arguing, so he decides to run away. Gims sings his verse behind the young man and the chorus. Barack Adama attends during his verse the search of a thug (IDR) who is embarked in front of his parents.
Lefa is alongside the father of the young man who runs away. They are looking for the young. The latter meets a friend and they go to the studio. Black M puts down his verse and the friend of the young man who runs away receives a call from his mother who tells him that his sister is in the hospital. But this friend does not answer because he is busy. When he realizes this, he runs to the hospital with the runaway youth, who then understands the importance of his parents and returns home saying "Désolé".
