The lyrics were written by Piaf and the melody of the song by "Louiguy" (Louis Gugliemi). Initially, Piaf's peers and her songwriting team did not think the song would be successful, but it became a favorite with audiences.[1] An English version of the lyrics was written later by Mack David. Owing to its popularity, the song appeared on most of Piaf's subsequent albums. A 1998 documentary about Édith Piaf was called La Vie en Rose, as was the 2007 biographical feature film La Vie En Rose, which won Marion Cotillard, who played Piaf from 19 until her death at 47, an Academy Award for Best Actress.

It was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998. It has also become a generic song representing the French, as "Rule, Britannia!" and "Stars and Stripes Forever" have for Britain and the US, respectively. "La Vie en Rose" was the last single from Grace Jones' first disco album Portfolio. The single is heavily edited from the version that appears on the album. The song was an international hit and one of her most popular tunes from the disco era. This version appears exclusively on this single release and has not been re-issued on CD American singer Donna Summer covered "La Vie en Rose" in 1993 for the tribute album, Tribute to Edith Piaf, released in France and the United States, on which several contemporary stars recorded interpretations of some of Piaf's best known songs. Released on both vinyl and CD, the American release of the album and single contain a different mix of Summer's synth-driven performance than the French release. These releases are among the most sought after of Summer's collectables.
