"Cœur" (French pronunciation: [kœʁ], lit. 'Heart') is a song by French singer Zoé Clauzure, released as a single on 27 September 2023.[1]

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.

Composition

The song is about school bullying.[4] 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".[5] delivering a strong positive, supportive message.[6] While not making any direct references to school,[7] the singer encourages the listeners to "move forward towards victory" despite some people wanting to see you fail.[6]

It was written by Noée Francheteau (music) and Julien Comblat and Jérémy Chapron (lyrics).[3]
