Singer Noam Ben-Atar, who represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Michel," has officially released a new single titled "Ma Vie." This song was one of the four finalists competing for the chance to represent Israel in the competition, ultimately losing out to "Michel."

"Ma Vie" is described as a poignant farewell song that blends Hebrew and French lyrics. The song explores the theme of a love that has ended but continues to linger. Ben-Atar sings, "My love, goodbye, you left me a madhouse here in the living room, so how do you still remain within me today?"

Although "Ma Vie" did not make it to Eurovision, it is now being released to the public. The song was co-written by Noam Ben-Atar, Gal Joe Cohen, Almog Kriaft, and Pan Hutzot. Gal Joe Cohen and Pan Hutzot also handled the musical arrangement and production.

With the release of the song that narrowly missed representing Israel, the public can now weigh in on whether "Michel" was the better choice.
