"Fais les backs" is a song by French hip hop duo Casseurs Flowters and produced by Skread. It is the 11th track from their debut studio album, Orelsan et Gringe sont les Casseurs Flowters, where its title is "22h31 – Fais les backs". The song entered the French Singles Chart at number 115 on 16 November 2013, and has since peaked at that same position, despite not being officially released as a single.[1]

In an interview with Booska-P, Orelsan explained "les backs" (the backs) in the title as the words the background singers or rappers repeat at the end of a line in a song, and explained the title "Fais les backs" as a reflection of his and his friends' way of life, saying that "we have the same life".[2]

Music video

The music video for "Fais les backs" was released on March 24, 2014. Throughout most of the video, parts of the song's lyrics pop up as Orelsan and Gringe rap them, while making robot-like body movements. The video also features the two rappers dancing in 3D cardboard cut-outs of themselves, as well as 3D cardboard cut-outs of robotic versions of themselves. Towards the end of the video, the two rappers' heads are set on fire, and by the end of the video their entire bodies are burning as they continue rapping and dancing, after which they are seen dropping to the ground to be put off using fire extinguishers by members of the camera crew.[3]
