Description:LeAnn's 4th video. LeAnn is the original singer of this song not Trisha Yearwood. (read history below). Albums: You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs & Greatest Hits Writer: Diane Warren © 1997 Curb Records, Inc. History of How Do I Live: "How Do I Live" is a 1997 song, written by Diane Warren, that was released originally by LeAnn Rimes, and shortly afterward by Trisha Yearwood. The song was originally intended for release as a single for the 1997 action blockbuster Con Air soundtrack. Warren wrote the song for Rimes to sing. The producers felt that Rimes's version had too much of a pop feeling to it, and requested that she re-record it to fit their standards. She refused, and the producers chose Trisha Yearwood to record the song. Her more country-style version was released on May 27, 1997 and appeared in the film. When Rimes heard of the release, she quickly released her version. Despite only peaking as high as number seven in the UK Singles Chart, LeAnn Rimes' version of How Do I Live spent thirty-four weeks in the chart. It set a record for staying on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for sixty-nine weeks. The song entered the Top 25 US Country singles chart on June 21, 1997 and was still there in February 2003, a record 291 weeks (five and half years) later. How Do I Live was covered by F.I.R. (Faye and Real featuring LeAnn Rimes). F.I.R. invited Rimes to record a portion of the song for their third album Flight Tribe in 2006. The song has also been performed on the hit show American Idol, Vonzell Solomon in Season 4, Paris Bennett in Season 5, and Meosha Denton in Season 2. It was also part of American Idol Season 2 compilation, sung by Carmen Rasmusen. Rimes' version ranks at #4 on Billboard's All Time Top 100. The single has been certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over 3 million copies in the United States. On the digital front, it routinely shifts more than 1,000 units per week, for a to-date total in excess of 203,000.

I believe this song was meant for us and Jesus. He's the only one who will never leave or go away! He's here through thick and thin no matter how much u hurt him or push him away, he will keep coming after you! He is the true love we all crave!

wasn't she really young when she recorded this song?
– big4long @ Oct 14, 2011
Me and the love of my life recently broke up. She wanted to find her individuality back and grow before she could commit to such a serious relationship. I understand and I'm supportive but it hurts. She was my girl friend, my future wife, and most importantly my best friend. I spent the whole day thinking about this song because i kept asking myself the title of this song over and over again. I love you Sarah withall my heart. True love last a lifetime, so I'll be waiting that long.

@big4long Yes, she was about 14 or 15 when she recorded this! ^_^

Rimes sang this song when she was 15. When I was her age all I did was play Counter-Strike!

@AllN4Jesus303 that actually doesn't make alot of sense. You're saying this song is about jesus because he sticks with you and will never go away no matter what. The song however is her singing about someone who has gone away and how she doesn't know how to live without him. Two completely different stories. But if it makes you happy to think that's what it's about, that's cool.
