"Life" is Mika Nakashima's 23rd single, released on August 22, 2007. Within the first press it included a picture label. The song "Life" is best described as an adult contemporary pop/rock song, and was used as the theme song for the drama of the same name (which is itself based on a manga with that name), starring Kii Kitano (sometimes credited as Kie Kitano) and Saki Fukuda; the B-side "It's Too Late" was used for Kanebo Kate CM, which starred Nakashima herself.

"Life", which peaked at #3 on the Oricon Singles Chart once it was released, provided Nakashima with her highest single sales since Hitoiro from the NANA franchise.
