Hugo Leclercq (born May 30, 1994), known by his stage name Madeon, is a self-described "electro-pop-house-whatever" producer from Nantes, France.
Leclercq started composing music at the age of 11, and adopted a nu-disco style under the name "Madeon" in 2010. In the fall of that year, at the age of just 16, he gained popularity for his award-winning remix of The Island by Pendulum which was praised by the likes of Skrillex and Pendulum front-man Rob Swire.
In 2011, he created a remix for Yelle's "Que veux-tu", and then went on to remix deadmau5's Raise Your Weapon which was praised by deadmau5 himself on Facebook and other social utilities. In the summer of 2011, a
YouTube video of his live mashup "Pop Culture" went viral, which combines 39 pop hits into one song. As of November 2012, it has approximately fifteen million hits.
Leclercq has been featured on 15 Minutes of Fame, a segment of Pete Tong's radio show on BBC Radio 1. Also on the 27th of January 2012 he played a 20 minute set as part of a show organised by Pete Tong to showcase up and coming stars in Electronic music. He included some of his own songs such as Pop Culture and Icarus, as well as merging songs together; These ranged from Shuriken alongside Que Veux Tu and DJ, to M83's Midnight City being played on top of a Madeon edit of Blitz by Digitalism.
Leclercq has cited The Beatles and Daft Punk as his greatest musical influences. He is also known to use Novation's Launchpad for his live performances, and FL Studio as his music production program of choice.
A debut EP was scheduled to be released in 2012, but then cancelled in favour of multiple singles, the first of which – Icarus – is planned to be released in February 2012.
Mid 2012 Madeon teamed up with one of EDM’s favorite voices, Ellie Goulding, to produce Stay Awake. The track was meant for Ellie’s Halcyon album, but wasn’t delivered in time. It made a standalone release in March 2013.
It wasn't until 2015 that Madeon's debut album, Adventure, was released by Columbia. The album reached number one on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart and featured hit singles such as Pay No Mind and Nonsense. Alongside the album's release were two headlining tours.
2016 gave way to a collaboration with artist Porter Robinson to create the animated single Shelter. The song has gained over thirty-five million views as of September 2018 and was played live alongside many others of the artist's previous tracks during the Shelter Live tour.
You're On
Madeon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me whose side you're on
You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side you're on
You have some nerve showing your face here
It had been so long
I thought you disappeared
It was all too clear
We need love most
But damn girl, since you've come around
Girl, I need to know right now
So won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, felt the chance that maybe
You could become my baby
If you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Tell me whose side you're on
You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side you're on
It's been so long since I heard your name
I was losing hope, that you felt the same
And it's been so long since I've seen your face
That in my own mind, I had been replaced
But damn girl, since you've come around
Girl, I need to know right now
So won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, felt the chance that maybe
You could become my baby
If you just
(Tell me whose side you're on)
Tell me whose side you're on
You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side
Damn girl, since you've come around
Girl, I need to know right now
So won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, felt the chance that maybe
You could become my baby
If you just
Tell me whose side (you're on)
The lyrics to Madeon feat Kyan's song You're On revolve around the idea of asking someone you used to be close with whose side they are on. The singer is trying to determine if this person they once had a close relationship with is still on their side or not. The first phrases 'Tell me whose side you're on' are repeated throughout the song as a reminder of the singer's desire to know where the person stands in relation to their relationship.
The chorus of the song deals with the sense of longing that the singer feels towards this person. They had lost touch for a long time and had given up hope that they would ever reconnect. When this person suddenly reappears in their life, the singer is filled with hope and the chance of a renewed relationship. The song is full of emotions and it is clear that the singer is trying to determine if there is still a chance for their relationship to flourish again.
Overall, the lyrics to You're On are a heartfelt plea to a person from the singer's past. The repetition of 'Tell me whose side you're on' emphasises the importance of knowing where the person stands. The whole song is a call to reconnect and find out if there is still hope for the relationship to continue.

@Stickyybenzz This song is 8 years old😂
So when this song was released, I was 15 years old 😊
Best of luck to you, school can be hard, but keep your head down and endure the struggle.
As soon as you get your first paycheck, all of your struggles will be null and void !
I remember the difficulties. Be yourself and let nobody change who you are.
Your personality is precious and you will soon lose your childhood magic. Find something/someone that inspires you and use it as your motivation to grow up.
I can recommend David Goggins.
He suffered as much as the rest of us, but he never gave up. He is an example for potential.
Best of luck to you !!❤

My 1st Madeon song.
Now I see why people want him to do a collab with Porter Robinson.
@caseynovax

@lilaclunablossom
I didn't really like it.
