Dove Cameron on the Inspirations Behind New Song ‘French Girls’ (Including ‘Titanic’)

By Riley

Dove Cameron talks about new song "French Girls" and its inspiration (including 'Titanic').

Dove Cameron Said that  “French Girls,” an espresso shot of electro-pop that finds her continuing to explore moody, campy dance-pop that won’t quit.

“There’s a huge intersection between pain, heartbreak, joy and camp and levity. And that’s where we found ourselves in ‘French Girls,’” Cameron tells Billboard. “The melodrama of being a muse for a sculptor or a painter. There’s something so painfully romantic and also constricting about that. In ‘French Girls,’ the thing that I was really obsessed with was this self-sacrificing mania about being a muse that is not healthy.”

Aside from the song being inspired by her love for Paris and Parisian museums, she confirms that the chorus is a reference to Titanic, specifically the scene where Rose asks Jack to sketch her.
