What Is Life

"What Is Life" adalah sebuah lagu karya George Harrison dari album triple tahun 1970-nya bertajuk All Things Must Pass. Di banyak negara, lagu ini dikeluarkan sebagai single kedua dari album, pada Februari 1971, menjadi hit sepuluh besar di Amerika Serikat, Kanada, dan tempat lain, dan menduduki puncak tangga lagu single di Australia dan Swiss. Di Inggris Raya, "What Is Life" muncul sebagai B-side untuk "My Sweet Lord", yang merupakan single terlaris di sana pada tahun 1971. Musisi pendukung Harrison pada lagu tersebut termasuk Eric Clapton dan seluruh anggota Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, saat melakukan tur selama bulan-bulan terakhir the Beatles.
