"Dopamine" by Madelline is a unique song sung simultaneously in English and French, offering a novel auditory experience akin to ASMR. The song's bilingual nature, especially when listened to with headphones, enhances language learning and provides a brain-tingling effect. The lyrics explore themes of desire and dependency, with synchronized subtitles available for language study.

    I recently discovered this song by Madelline, and I’ve simply never seen anything like this before. Bonus point: it’s a perfect way for to improve your French level without even knowing!

    Just a tip: listen with headphones!

    There is something very special with how it sounds. A little like ASMR, hearing a song in two languages at once, especially in the left and right channels with headphones, and with carefully selected rhymes, tickles the brain in the best possible way.

    Here are the English & French subtitles:

    You're everything I want, you're everything I want I need, I need My D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E

    You're keeping me awake and it's 3 AM Thought we were on a break, but you're back again Now I'm lost in the comfort You turn me on more than all my ex-lovers You've heard all of the secrets I'll never tell By now, you know me better than I know myself And it's nice, but I wonder What would life be like had I never known ya?

    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 'Cause my world is turning blue And there's nothing I can do Whеn you're always at my fingertips

    You're еverything I want, but nothing that I need Lately, I hate the way you're making me think, ah The moment that I wake up and when I go to sleep I need my D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E

    Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (My D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E) Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (My D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E)

    And every time I think that I'm in control You serve another cocktail of chemicals And it's nice, but I wonder Are you lifting me up or just pulling me under?

    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 'Cause my world is turning blue And there's nothing I can do, ooh Yeah, you're the feeling that I can't resist

    You're everything I want, but nothing that I need Lately, I hate the way you're making me think, ah The moment that I wake up and when I go to sleep I need my D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E

    Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (My D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E) Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (My D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E) Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (My D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E) Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (My D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E)

    Tu es tout ce que je veux, tu es tout ce que je veux Je veux, je veux Ma D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E

    Le sommeil m'échappe au petit matin Je t'ai dit "À bientôt", mais c'est pas la fin Bien perdu dans le confort Tu me rends un peu folle, et ça prend trop peu d'effort Tu sais mes secrets, même les bien cachés J'avoue, tu me connais mieux que jе m'connais C'est bien chouettе, mais j'ai pensé Si toi, tu te barres, à quel point je changerais ?

    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Ce beau monde est devenu bleu Tu me contrôles avec très peu Je te sens jusqu'au bout de mes doigts

    Tu es tout ce que je veux, mais rien dont j'ai besoin Enfin, j'déteste comment t'envahi ma tête Du moment où je me réveille, avant que je m'endorme Je veux ma D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E

    Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (Ma D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E) Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (Ma D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E)

    Chaque fois que je pense que j'suis en contrôle Tu me sers un cocktail qui me rend folle Bien perdu dans le confort Est-ce que tu m'élèves ou rabaisses sans remords?

    Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Ce beau monde est devenu bleu Tu me contrôles avec très peu Sentiment qui fait partie de moi

    Tu es tout ce que je veux, mais rien dont j'ai besoin Enfin, j'déteste comment t'envahi ma tête Du moment où je me réveille, avant que je m'endorme Je veux ma D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E

    Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (Ma D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E) Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (Ma D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E) Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (MA D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E) Da-ra-da-da-da Da-ra-da-da-da-ra-da Da-ra-da-da-da (Ma D-O-P-A-M-I-N-E)
