The track was originally recorded for the album of the same name, but for unknown reasons it did not make the final cut. It received a scarce 1983 release as a UK white label single and was only officially released in Portugal. A remixed version was released as the B-side to the UK reissue single of "Love is the Drug" in 1986. This version appears on the 1998 compilation Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions. The original and dub versions are yet to be reissued on CD.
The music video for the song was directed by Jean-Paul Goude and famously includes the "suicide" scene, with Grace blowing her brain out.[1] Excerpts from the "Living My Life" video were used in the "Slave to the Rhythm" clip. The music video for "Living My Life" was also included in Jones' concert film, A One Man Show.
