Life Won't Wait is the fourth studio album by the American punk rock band Rancid.

The recording of Life Won't Wait took place in the United States (from San Francisco to Los Angeles, New York City, New Orleans) and Jamaica.

Two of the songs were recorded in Kingston: "Hoover Street" and the title track, "Life Won't Wait".

With the cooperation of numerous Jamaican reggae artists (such as Buju Banton) is very distinctive on this album, not just in the vocals, but also in instrumental parts, which all makes Life Won't Wait very different from most of the other Rancid releases.

However, as Armstrong noted during his appearance on the podcast One Life, One Chance with Toby Morse, Gurewitz sequenced the album.
