The final days of the music industry’s irresponsible overspending and largesse saw the band record one line of vocal for each verse, then flying in a private jet to the different recording studios, rotating until the recording was finished. It served as their debut single and the lead single from their self-titled debut studio album (1998). C’est La Vie was released as a single on the 25th of May in 1998 but seeds were sown 12 months earlier as the girl group made up of Sinead, Keavy, Edele and Lindsay were paired with a songwriting team by their label.WHAT is often referred to as ‘Ireland’s Greatest Song’ C’est La Vie, sung by girl group B*Witched is fondly remembered by almost all of the country, but very little is known about the troubled writing and recording of the quintessential pop song of our times, that is, until now.

In a perfect world, this dancey helping of youth-oriented pop would have no problem conquering the States with its giddy melody and squeaky-clean teenage vocals, but sadly, top 40 has again entered one of those periods during which it shuns most any uptempo track that might be considered plain and simple fun.

That's a shame, given the growing profile of this personable Dublin-based female quartet and its fine self-titled debut album. We had tried to distract the girls with more prostitutes, but they had grown tired of the music industry when they realised how much money they could make from selling heroin,” Richie Stern, the band’s manager at the time revealed. The accompanying music video for the song features the four girls dancing around a lush green field full of bright flowers with a puppy as they playfully tease a teenage boy. A dog is introduced into the clip next to one of the girls and the quartet then begin dancing and singing to a teenage boy in a treehouse.

Both Leiber and Stoller claimed the lyrics to be their Mona Lisa, even surpassing their iconic Stand By Me but they fought intensely with the band during initial recordings when the band ad-libbed “I fight like me da as well”. Weeks later, while high on LSD the group completed the vocals, with the particularly potent trip providing the inspiration for the song’s much celebrated video. The music video for the song was directed by Alison Murray, who later also directed the UK video for " Rollercoaster". if you know song lyric, that isn’t already on moodpoint lyrics directory, please use "Add Lyrics" to submit it. The chorus was then recorded in Vietnam, but the band became distracted by the local drug trade and became embroiled in a turf war with the leading supplier of heroin in the area.Chuck Taylor of Billboard wrote, "This European creamsicle has already tickled the top of the European pop charts, and with good reason.
