"Life Goes On" is the first single from the album Twisted Angel, recorded and released by country singer LeAnn Rimes. The song didn't make it into the Hot 100 in the US, but it did make #9 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, and was a bigger hit outside America. It reached the top 10 in Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden and New Zealand and the top 20 in the United Kingdom and Norway. The 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 huge pop sound instead of the country music Rimes used to record. The song is about moving on and letting go of the past.

This song peaked at #12 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. Although a country version of the song was recorded, the single was never officially released to country radio, but did make #60 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart due to unsolicited airplay,
