The song was performed live at the 2013 NRJ Music Awards, where it featured will.i.am.
==Music Video==
The music video accompanying the release of "Papaoutai" was directed by Raf Reyntjens and released on YouTube on June 6, 2013 at a total length of three minutes and fifty-two seconds. The video shows a young boy trying to interact with his unresponsive father (played by Stromae), who sits motionless, his expression and body resembling that of a mannequin, while outside, other parents and children dance together. In the end, the son joins Stromae on the sofa, assuming a rigid, lifeless position identical to his father's. It refers to the absence of Stromae's father, who was killed in the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.〔[http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/15/arts/15iht-stromae15.html New York Times, October 15, 2013〕 The video has received over 300 million views on YouTube.〔[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiKj0Z_Xnjc Stromae - Papaoutai].

In the video, the boy's father is represented as a lifeless mannequin, so he is present physically, but not emotionally. As the boy looks outside, he sees that the other parents always do something together with their children, while his remains motionless. The boy reproaches his father with the words of the song about how a parent should raise their son, and the boy then works to involve his father in dancing, like the parent-child couples he had seen before. First, the boy dances at home in front of the father; then, both of them are seen dancing in the square, but that vision is actually just an imagination of the boy, who in reality is dancing alone while his father stays motionless in the car. In the end, the boy surrenders and also becomes an empty mannequin like his father, as that is the only thing his father has taught him. Ceasare "Tight Eyez" Willis, one of the creators of Krumping, appears in the music video as a parent dancing together with his son.
