Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano sheets for popular music. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for health) and harmonic chords.
I consider reasonable requests.

A twelve-note scale and a metered sheet music isn't capable to express the sound of “Ma meilleure ennemie” with its layered vocal and digitally generated inflections.
The track is transcribed in the original key, E MInor, and uses basic major and minor chords Em Am D and the passing chord Bm.
The chord change is cyclical. The progression lacks a prominent cadential gesture.
“Ma meilleure ennemie” is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. Accent strong beats.
The left-hand provides an accompaniment. Play any pattern here (chords, arpeggios, tremolo, ostinato).
The right hand imitates vocal delivery by Stromae and Pomme: a predominant articulation is legato.
Pitch inflections (slurred notes) are played quietly.
Focus on precise rhythm in the rap part. It is tiring to play with forte touch; play pianissimo.
There are many places of an indefinite pitch where Stromae and Pomme breathe in.
If you want to sing it, use vibrato and softer attack. Freely use appogiaturas: in Stromae and Pomme singing you can hear Cercar della nota (search for the note) — a vocal technique of slight appoggiatura from above or below before a needed note.
The aesthetic value of a track is based on stepwise motion that reminds of human speech. The simple melody and endlessly repeated chords progression provides authenticity, which serves to reinforce our belief in the sincerity of its lyrical narrative.
