What it is

"Quand c'est ?" is a song by Belgian artist Stromae from his 2013 album Racine carrée, released as its final single in 2015. The title plays on how "quand c'est" and "cancer" sound alike in French, and the song addresses Stromae's personal relationship with cancer and the cruelty of the disease. In the music video, his silhouette tries to escape a creeping black mass representing cancer.
