"That's Life" is a single by American record producer and rapper 88-Keys featuring vocals by American rapper Mac Miller and Australian singer Sia. It was released on June 20, 2019, by Warner Records. 88-Keys obtained permission from Miller's family to use his contribution posthumously.
Background and release
[edit]Miller came up with the concept for the song stemming from a conversation he had with 88-Keys about relationships they were in at the time.[1][2] Miller's part was recorded in New York City in February 2015, while he was working on his third studio album GO:OD AM.[1][2]
A version of the song leaked online in May 2019, incorrectly titled "Benji the Dog", with Miller alone on vocals.[1][3] 88-Keys responded to the leak days later, stating that it was a rough version and that the finished version would be officially released.[4] On June 13, 2019, 88-Keys announced the release of "That's Life", also featuring Sia, and that he had obtained permission from Miller's estate to release the song posthumously.[2][5] Regarding the song's development, 88-Keys said: "I played the song for Sia and she personally identified with the sentiments of the song and felt strongly about contributing her own thoughts on the subject matter."[2]
"That's Life" was released as a single by Warner Records on June 20, 2019.[2]
