cover of Khaled - C'Est La Vie

Yes it is a cover of Khaled (Khaled Hadj Ibrahim also known as Cheb Khaled). The song was written by Khaled, RedOne, Alex Papaconstantinou, Bilal Hajji and Björn Djupström.

It was a good hit in France and the Arab World. It is sang in mixed Arabic (Northern African accent) and in French.

Khaled is an Algerian French rai singer...

The arrangement is by RedOne, a Moroccan/Swedish music producer (real name Nadir Khayat) 

By the way, I think Marc Anthony's version may have been only a cover, but I loved the way he Latinized the song and commercially it was a far greater success than Khaled as it topped the Latin charts with huge sales.

Plus it gave the chance for many to check other Khaled songs and he goes far back really, his most famous being "Abdel Kader" with  Rachid Taha and Faudel and a cover of a Jean Jacques Goldman song called "Aicha" with Khaled's considered as the definitive version of "Aicha".
