Sweet Life "La vie est belle" is an R&B and hip hop song, which iswritten and composed by Fally Ipupa. The lyrics to the song are in 3 languages (Lingala, French and English). The production of the song is still unknown. It was recorded and produced in France. It carries a stuttering beat, which is accompanied by a slow-rolling and heavy bass-pumping groove and an acoustic guitar. The song is the first song of Ipupa including a rap part of himself. The versus are recorded over a Roland TR-808 machine, kick drums, and an acoustic guitar.
The song features Ipupa as the "hard worker" speaking about living a sweet life.
La vie est belle, la vie est douce = Life is beautiful life is easy
Combats toujours, combats de tous les jours = Fighting every day, the everyday fight
Parfois je suis sûr, parfois je doute = Sometimes I am sure, sometimes I am not
In 2013, a rumour got abroad in the Congolese community, saying that Fally Ipupa stole the song from a songwriter and released it without permission. In the same year a musician claimed that he had composed the song, showed it to Ipupa and Ipupa then released it. The unknown musician played the demo version in an interview and asked Ipupa publicity to pay him for the song. Ipupa never gave a statement to the rumors.
Sweet Life "La vie est belle" was included on Ipupa's third studio album Power "Kosa Leka" (2013) which was released on iTunes Store, YouTube and Google Play Music with no promotion having taken place.
