Rising French alt-pop artist Charlotte Boin releases her new song “backseat lovers”, alongside her self-directed debut music video. Written and produced by Charlotte, the track takes you on a dark, cinematic exploration of desire, secrecy, and emotional chaos.
Anchored by an intense electric guitar and layered, reverb-drenched vocals, “backseat lovers” unfolds like a late-night confession. The song traces the unraveling of a relationship that was never meant to happen — a love that’s dangerous, irresistible, and charged with tension.
“It’s about not being together to protect each other, but the pull is too strong. There’s passion, fear, longing — all at once,” says Charlotte.
Subtly inspired by the Wattpad classic “Duplicity” and digital culture of the early 2010s, the lyrics offer a coded intimacy — referencing stories known to some, but resonating universally. It’s a track that lingers like a memory, cinematic in tone and emotionally unfiltered.
The black-and-white visual, stylized in a 4:3 format, brings this world to life through static frames and symbolic imagery: the backseat of a car, the forbidden apple, a gaze held too long. Directed and shot by the artist herself, the video reflects the intimacy, restraint, and emotional messiness at the heart of the song.
Though not tied to a larger project, “backseat lovers” introduces a bold new sound and visual direction for Charlotte — genre-blending, emotionally rich, and deliberately raw.
“This is the direction I’ve been working toward — it’s intense, it’s honest, and it sounds like me.”
