The song was composed by Paul de Senneville and Jean Baudlot (Vaguener's real name). This was de Senneville's third consecutive Monegasque Eurovision entry, in 1977 and 1978 he had written "Une petite française" and "Les jardins de Monaco" in collaboration with Olivier Toussaint and the lyricists Jean Albertini and Didier Barbelivien.

"Notre vie c'est la musique" is an up-tempo disco track in praise of the power of music. Vaguener sings of his love for American popular music (blues and rock'n'roll), as well as the sounds of Paris. He explains that one of his great joys is when an attractive girl finds his music interesting and tells him "I love you".

The song was performed sixth on the night, following Finland's Katri Helena with "Katson sineen taivaan" and preceding Greece's Elpida with "Sokrati". At the close of voting, it had received 12 points, placing 16th in a field of 19.

Following this result, Monaco withdrew from the contest for 25 years. Thus, the song was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 2004 contest by Maryon with "Notre planète".
