Background and reception

[edit]

"I Love My Life" was written by Lukas Bellesini, Jayson DeZuzio, Wolfgang Gartner, Mason "MdL" Levy, Mike Posner and Solo Tohi.[1] Group member Paul "Paulie" Merciadez said, "When we first heard it, we thought straightaway, 'this describes me'! We love our life, the way things are, what we do and the friends we have around us. It's why we celebrate, and it's why we are where we are now – because we love what we do, and we do what we love."[2] The song was released physically on 3 April 2015 as the sixth single from Justice Crew's debut studio album Live by the Words. The physical release features a Matt Watkins remix of "I Love My Life".[3]

Brad of Auspop wrote that "I Love My Life" sounds "quite good with its summery guitar riff" but criticised its lyrics as "a bit clumsy".[4] Nic Kelly of Project U felt that the track was "not ARIA-chart record breaking but it's a bit of fun and the hook's pretty decent."[5] K-Zone magazine simply called it a cool single.[6] For the week dated 20 April 2015, "I Love My Life" debuted at number 68 on the ARIA Singles Chart and became Justice Crew's eleventh top one hundred entry.[7][8]

Music video and promotion

[edit]

Justice Crew performed "I Love My Life" during an instore appearance at Westfield Miranda on 12 April 2015, and on Sunrise on 13 April 2015.[14][15]
