She was a passenger in the car when her mother was killed in an accident on a mountain road 13 September 1982. She was unable to attend her mother's funeral because she was in the hospital with injuries from the crash.
Music career
In February 1986, Stephanie 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 Stéphanie in some countries) with eight 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.
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 30,000 copies in the USA. 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. 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.
Current Interests
Since the death of her father, Prince Rainier, Stephanie has become deeply involved on the fight against AIDS, becoming a UNAIDS ambassador. She has also created 'Fight Aids Monaco', her own foundation to support people living with HIV and at the same time combat the social stigma attached to the disease. In 2006, with a group of French singers, the princess took part in the recording of the song "L'or de nos Vies" in order to raise funds for the foundation.

Stéphanie de Monaco 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 -
Irresistible
irreversible
I can't fight the temptation.
Call it physical
it's illogical
still I love the sensation.
Irresistible
irresponsible
irregardless 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
irregardless 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.
In Stéphanie de Monaco's song Irresistible, the lyrics tell the story of a woman who knows that the man she's involved with is vain, a fake, and is tearing up her emotions, yet she finds herself unable to resist his charms. She admits to being too blinded by his physical presence and the sensation of being with him to see that she's being irresponsibly drawn to him, even though she knows it's illogical and she'll regret it later. Despite seeing right through his "jive ballyhoo," she can't help but be swept up by the irresistible force of love.
