"C'est la Vie (Always 21)" is the first new single released from Ace of Base's first greatest hits album, Singles of the 90s . It was produced by Jimmy James Ekgren, Sonny Peterson and Sigurd Rosnes of JPR Productions. It was released in Europe on 25 October 1999. A planned UK release with additional remixes for 6 December was cancelled, but the remixes were finally released commercially in 2020 as part of the boxset All That She Wants: The Classic Collection. A music video was produced to promote the single. The video was directed by Patric Ullaeus and charted #1 in Spain.
AllMusic editor Bryan Buss described the song as "young-at-heart" in his review of the band's Greatest Hits album. [1] Swedish newspaper Expressen wrote that it "sounds as if Ace Of Base has gone into childhood again". They added that "the group's charm comes out best" on a song like "C'est la Vie (Always 21)".
