"La Vie En Rose" is an unreleased song by Ariana Grande. The song was intended for her debut album, Yours Truly, but did not make the cut.
Background[]
The song was recorded in 2011 and written by Grande, Kesha, and her mother Pebe. The song was performed live in 2012 during Grande's concert at the Roxy. To date, the studio version has not been leaked. On her deleted ask.fm account she confirmed that the song wouldn't be on her album and that it "was a sample."
On June 2, 2021, Pebe posted an audio video on TikTok of the three ladies working on the song together.
In 2022, Pebe posted another snippet of the song on TikTok, where she also revealed some background behind the song. Her son, Louie Sebert, had the same manager as Grande. She had asked Sebert if she would be interested in writing a song with her, and she agreed. According to Sebert, it was Grande's first time trying to write a song.
Lyrics[]
Said you would show me some things
I just wanna get, get, get, get, get with you (with you)
La vie en rose
I wanna live La Vie en rose
On, I just live to make you smile
La Vie en rose
Oh, La Vie en rose
I wanna live la vie en rose
Oh, I just live to make you smile
La Vie en rose
Love, I wanna live out this crush
Oh, love, I wanna live, I wanna live
Love, I wanna live out my days with you (with you)
Oh, love, I wanna drink some champagne
Oh, love, I wanna drink some champagne
Love, I just wanna drink Pink Champagne with you (with you, with you)
La vie en rose
I wanna live La Vie En rose
Oh, I just live to make you smile
La Vie en rose
Oh, La Vie en rose
I wanna live La Vie en rose
Oh, I just live you make you smile
La Vie en rose
