[1] The group's frontman Brad Rempel wrote the song with David Thompson and Phil Barton, while the track was produced by Sam Bergeson.

[2] A solo version of the song was included on High Valley's sixth studio album Way Back in 2022, while the duet with Krauss was released in 2023, and included on the deluxe release of the album later that year.

[6] After moving to Nashville, Tennessee, Rempel and his wife eventually befriended Krauss and her family.

Krauss told Rempel that "Do This Life" was her favourite song on the group's album Way Back, which prompted them to collaborate on a new version of the track.

[7] Rempel called the opportunity to duet with Krauss on "Do This Life" a "literal dream come true".
