A version of the song, remixed by MeLo-X, appeared in the video game Grand Theft Auto V on the in-game radio station WorldWide FM.

Accolades from fans and critics alike, such as Billboard, NPR, Elle, NY Times, Vibe Claire and National Geographic, who raves that her sound is “as fresh, honest and deeply personal as anything by Bon Iver or tUnEyArDs," have been rolling in.

A writer for Billboard magazine described the track positively and noted that it was fairing extremely well and would likely chart soon: "25-year-old alterna-pop singer Yuna is gaining traction with her dreamy single "Live Your Life," produced by Pharrell Williams.

During the June 11–17 [2012] tracking week, it was among the top 10 most-played songs on SiriusXM's 20 on 20 channel and WLOQ Orlando, Fla., according to Nielsen BDS.

Signed to the FADER label, Yuna wraps a tour with Graffiti6 on June 25 before heading out for dates with David Gray in early July.
