The French expression “that’s life” provides the title for “C’EST LA VIE”, a 2026 recording by Nigerian singer Fireboy DML from his fifth studio album ZUKO!.
Commonly used to acknowledge circumstances beyond one’s control, the phrase introduces an interesting perspective to a project concerned with identity and personal change. Fireboy has previously discussed his experiences openly through music, especially during the more personal period represented by his preceding album.
Nxrth handles production, continuing an established creative relationship with the singer. The producer previously contributed to adedamola, including recordings that explored contemporary Afropop and R&B, making his involvement another connection between the two projects.
Fireboy has built much of his reputation on translating familiar human experiences into accessible songwriting. His continued interest in personal expression has helped sustain an audience that follows his albums for more than individual hit singles.
The song is available on major digital streaming platforms. Give it a listen and share your thoughts in the comments below.
