The song "Time of Our Lives" is in English language but as the release was targeted mainly for the French-speaking markets where Chawki had already had a previous hit with "Habibi I Love You", the song presented a bilingual refrain: "Allez, Allez, here we go, allez / This is the time of our lives) allez being French for "come on" used throughout the song.
A football and Brazilian Capoeira-themed outdoor partying video was also promoted in time for the opening of the 2014 World Cup.
The song found commercial success reaching number 15 in SNEP the official French official Singles Chart and went on high rotation on French commercial radio giving Chawki two simultaneous hit singles in France's Top 20, "Time of Our Lives" alongside "Magic in the Air" that reached number 3 in French main chart and number 1 in French Club 40 dance chart.
