She was the passenger in the car when her mother was killed in an accident on a mountain road 13 September 1982. Rumours persist to this day that Stéphanie was driving. She was unable to attend her mother's funeral because she was in hospital with injuries from the crash.
In February 1986 Stéphanie released her first single with the French label 'Carrere', under the production of Yves Roze. The song Ouragan (Hurricane) and its English version "Irresistible" quickly reached the international Top 10, reportedly selling more than 5 million copies. In September, she released a full album called "Besoin" reportedly selling more than 2.5 million copies(also released as 'Stephanie' in some countries) with 8 new songs, including 'Flash' (in French), which was released as a single and reached the hit parade all over Europe. In January, 1987, she released the single "Young Ones Everywhere" to benefit UNICEF. By the end of 1986, she was the queen of all European media, with her voice on the top ten on the radio, her video clips recorded in exotic lands like Mauritius, appearances on TV, and her picture in every magazine.
In 1987 Stephanie moved to Los Angeles to dedicate herself to music and live with her then-boyfriend, Mario Oliver. However, it took 5 years for the product to come out, and sales were disappointing, only 3000 copies. The album had 10 songs, including the single 'Winds of Chance' for which the video clip was recorded in the Canary Islands. The producers tried to leave her Europop style behind and create a more grown-up album with English-only lyrics, though she sounded better in French. Her first and only live tour took place in the summer of 1991 in Europe and South America to promote the album called Stéphanie released in the U.S. by Sony Music. U.S. critics gave the album negative reviews and focused on her privileged background, which they felt discredited her efforts. She also recorded "In the Closet" with Michael Jackson under the alias of Mystery Girl for his album, Dangerous. She then ended her pop music career.

Stéphanie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's so sure
He's so vain.
He's a maker of fashion
He's a faker of passion
I see right through all his jive ballyhoo.
But he's into my system though I try to resist him
I can't fight anymore.
Irreversible
I can't fight the temptation.
Call it physical
It's illogical
Still I love the sensation.
Irresistible
Irresponsible
Regardless of reason
Love's swept over me
I'm too blind to see, I can't fight off the feeling.
I know he's wrong but his arms feel so right.
He's a magical potion
Tearing up my emotions.
Why if I see what this boy does to me
Can't I simply forget him
Cause I know I'll regret him?
I can't fight anymore.
Irresistible
Irreversible
I can't fight the temptation
Irresistible
Irresponsible
Regardless of reason
Love's swept over me
I'm too blind to see, I can't fight off the feeling.
Like a magnet attracting steel
Just a look from his eyes I feel
That I'm losing my self control
He takes over my soul what for?
But I keep coming back for more.
The lyrics of Stephanie's song "Irresistible" tell the story of a woman who is in love with a man who is vain, a maker of fashion and a faker of passion. Even though she sees right through him, she can't resist him and he's got her into his system. She knows he's wrong for her, but his arms feel so right. Love has swept over her and she's too blind to see, she can't fight off the feeling. The song is about the power of attraction and how it can be irrational and difficult to resist.
Stephanie's lyrics are a reflection of the idea that sometimes, people are attracted to things or people that they know are not good for them. The singer in this song is aware that the man she loves is a faker, but she can't help being drawn to him. The lyrics also suggest that the attraction is based on physical sensations and that there is some kind of chemical reaction happening. The woman keeps coming back for more, even though she knows it's not good for her, which suggests that love can be uncontrollable and can override reason.
