In 2005, Vitalic's debut album, OK Cowboy was released on Different / PIAS Recordings. Pascal states that all of the instruments used in the album are synthesized. His official website states that "the only thing he can't fake is the emotion that galvanizes his music."
His song "Trahison" from OK Cowboy was used in the trailer for the 2007 French film Naissance des Pieuvres. His song "Poney Part 1" was featured in the Pleix film Birds. It was announced by Festival Republic that Vitalic would be playing both the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK in August 2009.
Vitalic's second studio album Flashmob was released in 2009. The first single, "Your Disco Song" is available for streaming at Vitalic's MySpace page. He has spoken a great deal about the new disco influence on Flashmob.

Vitalic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just a little pony,
Working in the funfair,
Life has never been easy,
That's not life, that's a nightmare...
I've never seen a prairie,
Be the judge you're about to ride me,
Is it touch, I don't do it... (not 100% sure)
They could do the slip with you,
And what the groom may not of touched,
Forced to turn around a pick,
Bet your really just like me.
Verso 2
I'm just a little pony,
Working in the funfair,
Life has never been easy,
That's not life, that's a nightmare...
I've never seen a prairie,
Never seen - a tree,
Be the judge you're about to ride me,
Is it touch, I don't do it... (not 100% sure)
I'm just a little pony,
I've never seen a prairie,
They could do the slip with you,
Is it touch I still decree, (not 100% sure)
They could do the slip with you,
And what the groom may not of touched,
Forced to turn around a pick.
The lyrics of Vitalic's song "Poney Part 2" tell the story of a little pony who works in a funfair and finds life to be a nightmare. The pony has never been outside the funfair, and it has never seen a prairie or a tree. The pony is forced to be ridden and judged by people who may do it harm. The lyrics also suggest that the pony has been touched inappropriately by some people, and it feels uncomfortable about that.
The lyrics are a reflection of the artist's social commentary on the treatment of animals, particularly ponies, in the entertainment industry. The funfair serves as a metaphor for the larger entertainment industry, where animals are often used as commodities for human entertainment. The lyrics raise important questions about the ethical treatment of animals and the need for change in how we interact with them.
