2021 single by Stromae From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Santé" (English: "Cheers") is a song by Belgian singer-songwriter Stromae. It was released on 15 October 2021 via Polydor Records. The song was written by Juanpaio Toch, Moon Willis and Stromae.[2]
"Santé" pays homage to those who keep working while others party and celebrate. These workers receive little recognition and seem invisible, but they are in fact essential to society. They include employees of catering and cleaning businesses, "caregivers, fishermen, drivers, [and] flight attendants".[3] The name of the song is a play on the word "santé", which is used for celebratory toasts, but literally means "health" in French.
An accompanying music video directed by Jaroslav Moravec and Stromae's brother Luc Van Haver was released on 16 October 2021. It shows a cast of "cooks, fishermen and waitresses break from their routine to bust out into some dance moves".[4]
