      • "Living My Life" is a Grace Jones song released as a single in 1983 by Island Records. It was written by Jones with production handled by both Chris Blackwell and Alex Sadkin.


      Background


      The track was originally recorded for the album of the same name, due to it's overall pop and R&B sound compared to the album's reggae direction, it did not make the final cut. It received a scarce 1983 release as a UK white label single and was officially released only in Portugal. Jones, however, performed the track on several TV shows. A remixed version was released as the B-side to the UK reissue single of "Love Is the Drug" in 1986. The original and dub versions are yet to be reissued on CD.


      Music video


      The music video for the song was directed by Jean-Paul Goude and famously includes the "suicide" scene, with Grace blowing her brains out. Excerpts from the "Living My Life" video were used in the "Slave to the Rhythm" clip. The music video for "Living My Life" was also included in Jones' concert film, A One Man Show.
