A snippet of Life surfaced online on November 13, 2011, following the discovery of a 30-second preview on music licensing website, BMG.Warning... they're from the Verbalicous era. November 13, 2011. Retrieved February 25, 2022 via Night Owl on Gaga Daily. The song leaked in full on June 24, 2013, alongside other tracks from the Verbal Issues sessions."The unreleased debut album from Natalia Kills, Verbal Issues, has been leaked online!" June 24, 2013.

Life was leaked as the seventh track on Verbal Issues, but the track listing is most likely unofficial; for more information, see the album's page.
==Writing and Development==
====Life A====
Life was likely written during the development of the unreleased studio album, Verbal Issues, sometime after winning a BBC Radio 1 MC Battle in 2003 and before the album was scrapped in what seems to be late 2005."she was signed soon after she won a Radio 1 MC competition when she was just 16." February 24, 2005. Retrieved February 25, 2022 via BBC."Verbalicious seems to have disapeared too. She had an album, Verbal Issues, in the pipeline but I guess it got shelved." September 14, 2005. Retrieved February 24, 2022 via [Deleted User] on Digital Spy Forums.
The first known iteration of this song, registered as Life A, features songwriting credits from Sinclair and Carlos Keery-Fisher. This version seems to have been considered the final despite further development with Steve Levine.
====Life B====
Life was later reworked and registered as Life B, featuring additional songwriting credits from Steve Levine. Although likely being worked on after Life A, it was not treated as the final version ready for release.
====Note====
There is a chance this song can be accredited to Verbz due to the close proximity of the two eras in terms of time and music registrations. However, this is unlikely because the song was seemingly registered on BMI in a batch along with other Verbalicious songs including Hey Boy, which can be noted by the sequential numbers of the songs' work IDs. On both ASCAP and BMI, the song was registered before any confirmed Verbz tracks (Shopaholic, Swaggerific, etc.) were, something which is shown by the sizeable gap in the songs' work IDs, so it's safe to assume it's a Verbalicious song. Interestingly, though, Life B was registered on BMI after several Verbz songs.
