Background and release
In late 2012, Bliss n Eso began recording material for their fifth studio album, Circus in the Sky (2013) in Australia and Los Angeles, with the goal of "creating their most electric and progressive album to date".[2] After touring North America and visiting Afghanistan to perform for Australian troops,[3] Bliss N Eso released "My Life" as the fifth single from their aforementioned album in November 2013.[1]
Music video
The song's accompanying music video, which runs for four minutes and forty-nine seconds was directed by Allan Hardy. While the video contains footage from Bliss n Eso's visit to Canada and the United States, it mostly centres on Australian freestyle motocross racer, Cam Sinclair. The video chronicles Sinclair's life-threatening accident at the 2009 Red Bull X Fighters Freestyle Motocross event in Madrid, Spain, the rehabilitation and training he undergoes in the aftermath of this accident and his subsequent return to competition at the 2010 X Games in Los Angeles. In addition to Sinclair, the video also features appearances from a number of other athletes including, Robbie Maddison, TJ Lavin, Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham, Jaie Toohey, Cam White and James Doerfling among others.[3]
