The Best Side of Life
Encyclopedia
"The Best Side of Life" is a song by German singer–songwriter Sarah Connor. It was her second Christmas single
and the first single released from the 2006 re-release of her first Christmas album, Christmas in My Heart
(2005). The song was also featured in a Coca-Cola
Christmas promotional campaign.
After originally releasing Christmas in My Heart in 2005 with quite a bit of success, Connor had become pregnant again. She gave birth to her daughter Summer in the summer of 2006 and thus was on a baby break for most of the year. When the holiday season rolled around, it was announced that Connor would be releasing a new single, "The Best Side of Life". Along with the single release, Christmas in My Heart was reissued on 24 November 2006 with the new track and a DVD of the same name
, on which the song was included.
"The Best Side of Life" performed decently peaking at number four in Germany (as had her first Christmas single, "Christmas in My Heart
"), despite the reissue of the album not selling as well. The single made two re-entries on the German Singles Chart
, one during the week of 7 December 2007 for five weeks and the other during the week of 19 December 2008 for three weeks.
