"Live a Little" is a song written by David Lee Murphy and Shane Minor and recorded by American country music singer Kenny Chesney.

[1] Co-writer David Lee Murphy told The Boot that the two were just sitting around and Minor said he had a good idea for a song called "live a little, love a lot."

They wrote the song at the end of summer and Murphy said "we had our windows down, just singing at top of our lungs.

"[1] Bill Frisicks-Warren of The Washington Post described the song negatively in his review of the album, saying that "Nothing — not even the singer's self-deprecating, Everyday Joe persona — can redeem [it].

"[5] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a C grade, saying that the song starts with a "pure pop/rock intro" and then transitions into acoustic country but eventually "disintegrates to generic Chesney: loud but not assertive, cute but not clever, upbeat but not uplifting.
