“C’EST LA VIE” is the title of a 2026 track by Nigerian singer Fireboy DML, appearing on his fifth studio album, ZUKO!. It’s the French phrase “that’s life.”
The statement, often used to recognize situations outside of one’s control, gives an interesting vantage point to a project that is about identity and individual growth. Fireboy has spoken about his experiences through music before, especially during the more intimate phase of his career that his previous album was a reflection of.
The producer has worked on Agedamola before with records that touched on modern Afropop and R&B, thus his involvement provides another link between the two projects.
Fireboy’s reputation has been largely founded on translating familiar human experiences into accessible lyrics. His persistent focus in personal expression has kept an audience that listens to his albums rather than individual hit singles.
The song is accessible on all major digital streaming platforms. Have a look and let us know what you think in the comments below.
