"Le sens de la vie" (English: "The meaning of life") is a song by the French singer-songwriter Tal. The lyrics were written by Laetitia Vanhove and Serge Mounier and music composed by Laura Marciano and Simon Caby. The song was produced by Eau de Gammes.
It was initially recorded for Tal's debut album Le droit de rêver, which was released in March 2012. It was released in France as a single in January 2012, the third from the album after the singles "On avance" and "Waya Waya," the latter featuring Sean Paul. Contrary to the first two releases, "Le sens de la vie" became a top-ten hit for her reaching #4 in the SNEP French Singles Chart and #3 in the Belgian Ultratop Wallonia Francophone Singles Chart.
The album Le droit de rêver also contains a second very popular version of the same song in collaboration with the French-Algerian artist L'Algérino with added rap lyrics performed by L'Algérino.
The music video released on January 30 2012 is set in New York City, in the United States.[1] and shows an aspiring artist trying her dance moves with three dancers who encourage her to persevere.

Choreography was by Alonzo "Zo" Williams and dancers Cochise Quinoses Jr and Camelo Cruz.
