Sandra Kim | J'aime la vie (1986)

"J'aime la vie", I Love Life, was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, performed for Belgium by Sandra Kim.

Belgium had finished the 1985 contest in last place, and thus achieved the rare turnaround from last to first in the space of one year.


The song also marks the only time to date that Belgium has won the contest. The song was also included on Kim's album J'aime la vie in 1986.


When released as a single, it topped Belgium's singles chart for seven weeks and was the country's best-selling hit of 1986, and it also reached the top 20 in Austria, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Sweden.
