The song was written by Diane Warren for the movie “Con Air.”
Yearwood didn’t realize Rimes had already recorded the song and a music video for it.
Until it became, you know, the biggest hit.
… [Hits] make people like you!"
Rimes sang the track at the awards show, but Yearwood won the award.
However, the song’s lyrics are hypothetical.
The muse Rimes sings about is still with them, but she fears the day they do leave.
She continues on, using the chorus to ask her muse how she could possibly go on without them.
The second verse starts with, “Without you, there’d be no sun in my sky.”
Rimes' love lights up her life in a metaphorical sense.
If she lost them, everything would feel gloomy.
Her love is the most important person to her, and the only thing she has that feels genuine.
Who is Le Ann Rimes' How Do I Live written about?
Rimes sings, “Baby, don’t you know that you’re everything good in my life?”
I want to know.
How do I breathe without you if you ever go.
… How do I live without you, baby?
How do I live?"
