"'''Life Goes On'''" is a song by American [[country music]] artist [[LeAnn Rimes]]. Recorded for her fifth studio album ''[[Twisted Angel]]'' (2002), the song was penned by Rimes, [[Desmond Child]], and [[Andreas Carlsson]], with production from Child, Peter Amato, and Gregg Pagani. Lyrically, "Life Goes On" speaks of moving on and letting go of the past. Rimes's then-label, [[Curb Records]], first released the song on August 5, 2002, as the [[lead single]] from the album.


"'''Life Goes On'''" is the first single from the album ''[[Twisted Angel]]'', recorded and released by country singer [[LeAnn Rimes]]. A song about moving on and letting go of the past, "Life Goes On" missed the US ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Billboard Hot 100|Hot 100]], peaking at number 10 on ''Billboard''{{'}}s [[Bubbling Under Hot 100]] chart. It was a bigger hit outside America, peaking within the top 10 in Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Sweden while reaching the top 20 in Norway and the United Kingdom.
Commercially, "Life Goes On" was a top ten hit in Australia and Canada. In the UK, it peaked at number eleven. In Rimes's home country, the song missed the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], and made a brief appearance at number 60 on the [[Hot Country Songs]] chart, a stark contrast to her usual success on the chart.


== Critical reception ==
The music video for the song was shot in New Orleans and received criticism because of Rimes' sexual clothing and moves. Fans were also against the song because it had a pop sound instead of the country music Rimes used to record. A [[country music|country]] remix of the song was released to country radio and peaked at number 60 on ''Billboard'''s [[Hot Country Singles & Tracks]] chart.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/00s/2002/BB-2002-09-21.pdf|title=Curb Set Reveals A Mature, Soulful Rimes|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=September 21, 2002|accessdate=April 5, 2015}}</ref>
Chuck Taylor of [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'']] magazine gave "Life Goes On" a positive review, saying "["Life Goes On"] features a sexy, sassy performance that allows the chanteuse to boldly audition her full-fledged transition to womanhood." He ended his review by saying that "[[top 40]] will respond to this enormously talented artist, who has delivered many a cherished hit."<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Taylor |first=Chuck |date=August 17, 2002 |title=Reviews & Previews {{!}} Singles |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BgwEAAAAMBAJ&q=LeAnn+Rimes |access-date=May 23, 2024 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |page=24 |volume=114 |issue=33}}</ref>

==Music video==

Audio sample
The first chorus of Rimes' "Life Goes On".

"Life Goes On" is a song by American country music artist LeAnn Rimes. Recorded for her fifth studio album Twisted Angel (2002), the song was penned by Rimes, Desmond Child, and Andreas Carlsson, with production from Child, Peter Amato, and Gregg Pagani. Lyrically, "Life Goes On" speaks of moving on and letting go of the past. Rimes's then-label, Curb Records, first released the song on August 5, 2002, as the lead single from the album.

Commercially, "Life Goes On" was a top ten hit in Australia and Canada. In the UK, it peaked at number eleven. In Rimes's home country, the song missed the Billboard Hot 100, and made a brief appearance at number 60 on the Hot Country Songs chart, a stark contrast to her usual success on the chart.

Critical reception

[edit]

Chuck Taylor of Billboard magazine gave "Life Goes On" a positive review, saying "["Life Goes On"] features a sexy, sassy performance that allows the chanteuse to boldly audition her full-fledged transition to womanhood." He ended his review by saying that "top 40 will respond to this enormously talented artist, who has delivered many a cherished hit."[1]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "Life Goes On" was filmed in New Orleans, Louisiana during the week of July 29, 2002 and was directed by Matthew Rolston. It takes a look at a relationship gone wrong.[2]
