Perspective
"La Vie en Rose", which is composed in the key of F major with a tempo of 116 bpm,[4] is described as a vibrant, groovy electropop track. Captivating from the get-go, "La Vie en Rose" blends a wide range of elements – ambient synths, stomping beats, tinny snare and echoing strings drive much of the track – in its attempt at achieving midtempo pop perfection. The melody soars with the members' vocals, exploding with a pre-chorus build and sudden drop to the more restrained titular hook, serving up an introductory track that is all at once powerful and delicate.[1] The song was composed and produced by the MosPick Music Producing Group from Cube Entertainment, which is known for producing successful releases such as 4Minute's "Crazy" and HyunA's "Lip & Hip".
The song was initially composed and recorded for the girl group CLC, who had planned it as a follow-up to their 2018 track "Black Dress." [5] However, the song was reassigned to Iz*One for their debut by Cube Entertainment's internal decision-making, and CLC members completed recording before this change. [6][unreliable source?]CLC member Jang Yeeun later acknowledged the industry's flexibility with song assignments, expressing support and noting that the track found a "better fit" with Iz*One.[7][8]
