Building on the success of the group Hyphen Hyphen, Santa went solo last year. Since then, she has been a hit with her song “Popcorn Salé”. Such a success that the title was covered by the Enfoirés 2024 troupe. But did you know that the moving song could never have been listened to?
It’s a real hit. Santa’s track “Popcorn Salé” has more than 4 million views on YouTube in one year. The public is won over and yet, without the intervention of the two other members of the group Hyphen Hyphen, it would never have been released. During the show “Conversations” for Madame Figarothe artist speaks about this song composed in the privacy of his bedroom.
“ When I wrote it, it wasn’t meant to resonate beyond my bedroom. It was Line and Adam, the other members of Hyphen who pushed me. They listened to it in my living room, I was a little trembling behind my piano. And they told me: “Other people, besides us, absolutely need to hear this song.” “, she confided to Joseph Ghosn.
During this conversation, Santa also gave details about the conception of his hit and how the public took ownership of it because above all, “Salted Popcorn” is a story of love and intimacy. “ It’s complicated because a song, when it’s not made to be listened to by many, is very immodest. This is the paradox of telling oneself with modesty. There was a form in me that was really very stressed because there was this risk to take as a singer of being or not being loved. “, said the interpreter of “Too Young” before adding that she appreciated, ” The fact that the song surpasses (her), because (she) wanted her to reason more and more loudly, but here she (reasoned) really loudly “.
A risky bet for this title “ immodest » but nevertheless imbued with “ a form of naivety “. A happy formula because with “Salted Popcorn”, Santa encourages her fans to join her and “ believe that love can save the world from disaster “.
