The song was originally intended for release as a single for the 1997 action blockbuster Con Air soundtrack. Warren wrote the song for Rimes to sing. The producers felt that Rimes's version had too much of a pop feeling to it, and requested that she re-record it to fit their standards. She refused, and the producers chose Trisha Yearwood to record the song. Her more country-style version was released on May 27, 1997. When Rimes heard of the release, she quickly released her version. Both versions became very successful: Yearwood's version won her the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, while Rimes's version outsold Yearwood's by three million copies. It also set a record for staying on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for sixty-nine weeks. Despite only peaking in 1998 as high as number seven in the UK Singles Chart, LeAnn Rimes' version of How Do I Live spent thirty-four weeks in the chart. (US single version)
