The 3rd single on the "Racine Carrée" album, "Tous les mêmes" deals with the caricatured representations of men's and women's different ideas of relationships with humour and cynicism. The ideas are represented by the color green for the men and pink for the women.

Filmed by Henry Scofield, the clip includes Stromae made up as the masculine/feminine duo that his lyrics embody. The character is placed in a setting which is just as mobile as Marion Motin's choreography and experiences this confrontation of banal, modern day clichés in everyday settings.

"All the settings we see were created in an open hangar in Antwerp. It was very cold. The first scene where I'm bare-chested in bed was filmed last. We were freezing and exhausted. The technicians were aiming heat canons directly at us to try to warm us up - the filming was a challenge for all of us!"
