"5 dols", also known under its English title "5 Dollars", is a song by French singer Christine and the Queens. "5 Dollars" was released as the third single from the English version of his second studio album Chris on 16 August 2018.[1] Christine and the Queens performed the song on The Graham Norton Show on 19 October 2018.[2]
Christine and the Queens explained about the meaning of the song: "The song is so tender, so disheveled. It's dealing with some kind of love – the kind you can buy. It's a literal interpretation. A note for a shag – how surprisingly soothing this can be! The power ratio runs clear, like water in your hands; it becomes a pure gesture of love, of ultimate consent."[3]
The video for the track's English version was directed by Colin Solal Cardo released on Christine and the Queens' YouTube channel on 17 August 2018.[3] [4] Billboard noted it as being "S&M-inspired".[4] The video was also described in a press release as "American Gigolo with a twist".[3]
