The song, written by Grace Jones, Bruce Woolley and Mark van Eyck, showcases strong reggae influences and includes spoken verses (the only sung part of the track is the chorus).

Its lyrics are based on a true story of one of Grace's lovers, who was in a coma for several weeks, only to come around in front of her.

[2] "Love You to Life" was the third and final single from Jones' tenth studio album Hurricane.

[4] The music video for "Love You to Life" was directed by Chris Levine and Why Not Associates, and drew inspiration from an Irish milliner Philip Treacy and "real life magic".

[6] The video was the subject of an exhibition Grace Jones by Chris Levine: Stillness at the Speed of Light at The Vinyl Factory in Soho, London.
