When you watch Beauty and the Beast as a kid, the major love story is between Belle and the Beast. As an adult, however you can appreciate the side-eye that Lefou is constantly throwing Gaston's way. Lefou singing about Gaston's charms is more than a faithful sidekick trying to boost his friend's morale. The song is clearly an ode to all of that unresolved tension that has built up over years of friendship.

The 2017 live action remake of Beauty and the Beast, which stylized the character's name as LeFou addressed the feelings he has for Gaston by including what director Bill Condon called an "exclusively gay moment" in the film. "LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston," Condon told Attitude. "He's confused about what he wants. It's somebody who's just realising that he has these feelings. And Josh [Gad] makes something really subtle and delicious out of it."
