Faouzia - Puppet (Official Music Video)

my new project CITIZENS is out now!

Lyrics:
حرية (Freedom, freedom!)

Goodbye to the one that I once knew
I could never change just to love you
Looked me in my face
Said I was insane
Playing all your little games, games, games
Oh, oh

Tried to dim my flame
I shine brighter
And you tried to dull my blade
Well keep trying
And you tried to pull me under
Said I was too much
You’re just not enough

I was born to dance, dance
Could never tie strings to my hands, hands
You could only love a puppet
I could never be a puppet
I was born to dance, dance
Could never tie strings to my hands, hands
You could only love a puppet
I could never be a puppet

Hello to the one that I am now
Guess it didn’t go how you planned out
Little did you know,
I’m my own Geppetto
And now you get to watch me go, go, go

Tried to dim my flame I shine brighter
And you tried to dull my blade
Well keep trying
And you tried to pull me under
Said I was too much
You’re just not enough

I was born to dance, dance
Could never tie strings to my hands, hands
You could only love a puppet I could never be a puppet
I was born to dance, dance
Could never tie strings to my hands, hands
You could only love a puppet I could never be a puppet
حرية ، حرية (Freedom, freedom!)
حرية ، حرية (Freedom, freedom!)

[Faouzia]

i’ve had the “Puppet” world and visuals planned out for years ever since the moment the song was written. i would sit with Dre and Sean (producers and co-writers of Puppet) and gush about how i envisioned the video to be days after we wrote the song. and now, years later, i can share it with you.

this video is so special to me because i get to tell a story that is so personal to me and do it through my favourite things; makeup, fashion, hair, and layers upon layers of storytelling. it’s a little weirder, darker, and not as polished as what i’m used to making but i think it depicts the colourful chaos in my mind so well. Kyle Cogan and the entire team brought this video to life so beautifully and i’m so excited to share this world that is so authentic to me, with you.

“PUPPET” MUSIC VIDEO !!! OUT TOMORROW AT 1PM EST !!!! JOIN ME ON YOUTUBE 15 MINS BEFORE 🤍 WHO’S READY 😵‍💫

[Frihms]

She is criminally underrated. The fact that she’s better than 75% of today’s industry and isn’t as big as they are is a literal crime

[Mrwab]

“Said i was too much, You’re just not enough”
Faouzia is a genius love her lyrics

[AC-juyu]

This video and song incorporates every facet of Faouiza. Her range and technique singing and her personality shines bright. Love it, it so fresh.

[AnimeVibeschannel]

My neighbor listens to this everyday, not like he has a choice tbh...

[oolie]

Watching the progress of her MVs shows how much she's grown. I love watching every new MV because I know it's gonna be even better than the last as she grows bigger. Super proud Faouzia!

[trendyn]

I am so happy that faouzia is getting the recognition she deserves . She really is an outstanding artist .

[Achilles·LastStand]

This song got me through my breakup. After years of being forced to hide my emotions, walk on eggshells, lose my dignity, confidence and happiness, I finally broke out of that mould my ex wanted me in. I found my voice and I was no longer his puppet. Thank you Faouzia

[fingertip]

As a Moroccan myself, I'M PROUD OF U!! and I love how you included the word "حرية" which means "freedom" in Arabic.

[ataraadaya]

The hairstyle where her hair is up and she's in all black gives me such powerful evil queen vibes🖤

[mesharimj]

The fact that everyone can relate to the lyrics at some point in their life is just wow! Don’t ever let anyone convince you to change who you are cause you’re amazing <3

[savannahbolton]

Faouzia has such a unique style and voice, it doesn't sound like she's copying ANYone else in the industry. Her voice almost trembles with emotion. GORGEOUS. <3

[xHomiez]

can u please do more of these arabic aspects and show the arab world this amazing talent and production cuz in my arab world we never reached this level of creativity and production.

[_Sky]

I love the fact,
that she is loved because of her VOICE and LYRICS!
No nudity, no se* sells bullsh*t!
She is simply a great artist!
Her voice is a gift!!

[givemefrenchfriespls]

I was in school, me and my friend were talking about how great this was going to be and it did not disappoint! I’m so happy for you, Faouzia! This is truly a great and relatable song. I only wish the best for you! Also, want to let you know that your true fans will always be here supporting you, like my friend and I. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[henrymathews]

I’m so proud of her, she has grown so much and her videos are now more expressive, she’s owning it

[davemusicinca]

The fact that this video doesn't have more than 20M views is unbelievable. This lady deserves so much more!

[angelinebena]

Her voice is literally everything y’all better not sleep on her

[miksimpatikwhitney]

This deserves to be a worldwide hit. Simple as that. Go FAOUZIA!!!
