The title references the #MeToo movement as it plays on the phrase #BalanceTonPorc (meaning "Denounce your pig"), which was popular in France during the movement. Within the song, she candidly commentates on the sexism and misogyny that exists in contemporary society and supports the idea that education is the best way to combat it.

"Balance Ton Quoi" peaked number 1 in Belgium (Wallonia), number 13 in Belgium (Flanders), number 2 in France and number 33 in Switzerland. This song also received a two-time platinum certification from the Belgian Entertainment Association (BEA) and a diamond certification from The Syndicat national de l'édition phonographique (SNEP), making it one of her most successful songs to date.

The music video of the song was directed by Belgian photographer and filmmaker, Charlotte Abramow and premiered on April 15, 2019.
