Background

The song, written by Grace Jones, Bruce Woolley and Mark van Eyck, showcases strong reggae influences and includes spoken verses (the only sung part of the track is the chorus). Its lyrics are based on a true story of one of Grace's lovers, who was in a coma for several weeks, only to come around in front of her. His first word was Grace's name. "When their eyes first open and you just magically happen to be there, there's a look in the eye that you'll never forget. Like a birth," said the singer.^[2]

"Love You to Life" was the third and final single from Jones' tenth studio album Hurricane. Originally scheduled for release on 30 March 2009,^[3] it would however be postponed for more than a year, finally being released in May 2010.^[4]
