"The Life" is a promotional single by Fifth Harmony included in their sophomore studio album, 7/27, which debuted on May 27, 2016.

Background[]

Fifth Harmony began "working on a more mature sound" 7/27 in early 2015. On December 11, Lauren Jauregui teased "The Life" for the first time during an interview with Spin.

The song was co-written by Tinashe. 5H’s Lauren Jauregui discussed the collaboration in an interview.

Lauren: She has really sick melody flows and lyrics. It’s very cohesive with us. It’s drawing from the same experience. That’s what’s important at the end of the day: having an authentic sound and having someone who understands what we’re going through.[1]

The song was written by singer Tinashe, Alexander Kronlund, and Lukas Hilbert.[2] It was released as the 7/27's first promotional single on March 24, 2016. 

Lyrics[]

Camila:
Oh, I...

Ally:
Fifth Harmony, yeah

Camila:
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Lauren:
Ever since I'm young I'm tryna get it right
Every year I'm looking for a goal
Don't sleep 'til we see the daylight
Living big, going up on the rope

Camila with Fifth Harmony:
I like seeing all the white lights

Camila:
Keep it up, pour it up for the night

Camila with Fifth Harmony:
Two times, I'mma get it two times

Camila:
Double up, run it back on my mind

Fifth Harmony (Camila ad-libs):
This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life (This is the life)

This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life
This is the life (This is the life)

Give it up for the kids
Eating good, getting lit
Living life feeling rich
Ooh I, ooh I, yea (This is the life)

We the best in the biz
Breaking off betting chips
Living life feeling rich
Ooh I, ooh I, yea

Ally:
Level up, meet me court side
Tricking out, whipping hard in the coupe (Dinah: What?)
I'mma go, gotta board flight
Of the term, there's a show I gotta do

Normani with Fifth Harmony:
No stress baby you can find us

Normani:
Getting down on a beach in Dubai

Normani with Fifth Harmony:
Pool side sipping on a Mai Tai

Normani:
Double up, run it back on my mind

Fifth Harmony (Camila ad-libs):
This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life (Ally: Yeah, yeah)
This is the life, life, life (This is the life)

This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life
This is the life (Ally: Hey, hey) (This is the life)

Give it up for the kids
Eating good, getting lit
Living life feeling rich (Normani: Yea-ah, yeah)
Ooh I, ooh I, yea (This is the life)

We the best in the biz (Ally: We the best in the biz)
Breaking off betting chips (This is the life)
Living life feeling rich
Ooh I, ooh I (This is the life)

No stress baby you can find us
Getting down on a beach in Dubai
Pool side sipping on a Mai Tai
Double up, up, up, up...

Camila & Ally:
This is the life

Fifth Harmony (Camila ad-libs):
This is the life, life, life (Ally: oh yeah)
This is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life (Ally: Live it up)
This is the life, life, life (This is the life)

This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life (Dinah: This is the life)
This is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life

Ally:
Give it up, give it up

Fifth Harmony (Dinah ad-libs):
Give it up for the kids
Eating good, getting lit (Ally: Give it up)
Living life feeling rich
Ooh I, ooh I, yea (Camila: This is the life)

We the best in the biz (Best in the biz)
Breaking off betting chips (Oh baby)
Living life feeling rich
Ooh I, ooh I (Camila: Ooohh, I)

Camila:
This is the life, yeah
