"Chic C'est la Vie" is the second single by American television personality Luann de Lesseps, under the stage name and former courtesy title of Countess Luann. She wrote the song with Chris Young, its sole producer. Following the performance of her debut single "Money Can't Buy You Class", "Chic C'est la Vie" was released as a follow-up on June 28, 2011, through Ultra Records. Musically, it is a dance-pop song with a quick, electronic beat. de Lesseps sings in a mostly spoken word style, and the song's lyrics discuss her extravagant lifestyle.
Music critics provided mostly negative reviews of "Chic C'est la Vie", with some praise for the catchy refrain. An accompanying music video was filmed at the Borgata resort in Atlantic City, and was documented during an episode of The Real Housewives of New York City in 2011. de Lesseps invited the series' cast to appear in the clip, and was ultimately joined by members Jill Zarin and Kelly Killoren Bensimon. The video spawned several internet GIFs.
