About Million Eyes

"Million Eyes" is a song recorded by Belgian singer Loïc Nottet, released on 27 October 2016 by Sony Music Entertainment. Written by Amy Morrey and Nottet and produced by Luuk Cox, the track was chosen as the lead single of Nottet's debut studio album Selfocracy (2017). Musically, it has been described as an experimental-inspired dark electropop power ballad featuring piano in its instrumentation. The lyrics discuss Nottet being observed by a "million eyes", as well as on judgments and internal battles. Inspired by the 2008 film Changeling and the music of Sia, "Million Eyes" features androgynous vocals from Nottet. Reviewers likened the song to the work of Rihanna, The Weeknd and Alice on the Roof. Music critics were generally positive towards "Million Eyes", praising its power, composition and structure, as well as Nottet's delivery. At the 2017 D6bels Music Awards, the song was nominated in the Hit of the Year category. An accompanying music video was uploaded onto the singer's official YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release, and was directed by Zeb Daemen of Caviar Productions. Shot mostly in black and white, it portrays Nottet performing contemporary dance in a body of water. The visual was received with universal acclaim from critics. For further promotion, Nottet performed "Million Eyes" on several radio and television shows, and included it on the setlist of his Selfocracy Tour (2017–2018). The track attained commercial success in Wallonia and France. It was also certified Gold and Diamond by the Belgian Entertainment Association (BEA) and Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) for selling over 10,000 and 250,000 units, respectively.

Away, get away
You're such a freak
It's what people say to me
Different, too different
I'm scared of judgement
Your insults and your slanders stick on to me

Yes with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me
With your million eyes, eyes!

Drowning I'm drowning in that clown's mask
To make you laugh at my thousand flaws
Alone when I'm all alone I take my smile off
But your heartless words have left me scars

'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me

'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me
With your million eyes, eyes!

'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here

'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me

'Cause with your million eyes you're watching me
You talk behind my back
You spy on me
So I scream and shout to make you leave
But you're still here, you keep judging me
