Speaking about "La Vie En Rose" in a statement, Dacus said: “I want someone to listen to this while running at top speed to the doorstep of the person they adore, ready to profess their deep, undying love. (P.S., there’s a longer story about singing this song as a duet with my middle school janitor, but it is not concise).”
Lucy Dacus released her debut album Historian in 2018 and is one third of indie supergroup boygenius alongside Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker.
