Background


"Whose Life (Is It Anyways?)" was described by band frontman Dave Mustaine as energetic and youthful. "It's not the typical Megadeth track with a lot of riffing. It's more of a chord progression kind of thing; just a simple song."
"Whose Life (Is It Anyways?)" saw its radio debut during an appearance by Mustaine on the October 14–16, 2011, edition of the Full Metal Jackie radio show. For a 24-hour period from October 17 to October 18, 2011, the song was released as a free download through Megadeth's Facebook page.
The lyric video for the song was released on May 2, 2012, and followed the music video "Public Enemy No. 1". The video features large crowds holding signs which feature the song's lyrics. Loudwire described the video as "sinister yet appealing".
