This was released as the lead single from Stromae's Racine Carrée album. The song topped the charts in France and Belgium and went on to be the best selling single of 2013 in the latter country.
The song fuses Congolese rumba with piano house and its lyrics are about absent fathers (the title translates as "Dad, where are you?"). "I'm 28, and I have to have a baby now, in a normal way of life," Stromae told The Guardian. "As I say in the song: everyone knows how to make babies but nobody knows how to make fathers."
A remix of the song featuring Angel Haze also appears on Racine Carrée.
