French neo-soul chanteuse Perle Lama embraced the traditions of American R&B and Caribbean zouk to win critical and commercial success. Born January 20, 1984, in Fort-de-France, Martinique, Lama was just 14 years old when she claimed top honors in the JM Harmony Contest. The prize, a recording contract, yielded her 1999 debut LP, Challenger, with the single "Akwarel la Sé Taw" winning the Best Zouk category at the annual SACEM Awards. The 2001 follow-up, Perle Etc., expanded Lama's musical reach, channeling reggae influences to win two more SACEM prizes, including Best Female Singer. Lama nevertheless spent the next five years out of the spotlight, finally resurfacing in the autumn of 2006 with Mizikasoleil. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

The chorus repeats the phrase "Prisonniére de Ton Amour" four times, emphasizing the idea of being captive to their partner's love.

In the second verse, the lover shouts out to those who judge them, saying that they have no regrets and want to be accused. They want their accusers' decisions to be unconditional and for them to speak just one word. The chorus then repeats again with an added "Aime-moi encore" (love me again) as the lover pleads for their partner's love.
