From the coastline of Sydney's Northern Beaches to his hometown roots in Orange, NSW, Australian country-pop musician James Keith celebrates the realities of living the good life and embracing what surrounds you in his upcoming single, ‘This Life’, due for release Friday, July 24. The track serves as the final single ahead of his sophomore album, ‘I Call It Magic When I’m With You’, due for release October 9, 2026.
Following the release of his ARIA Country Albums Chart-topping debut ‘Life Is Good Today’ in 2024, Keith has continued to build the world surrounding his upcoming album. After a successful run of singles, ‘This Life’ follows May's ‘Cruel Game’, further showcasing Keith's multifaceted songwriting and heartfelt storytelling while adding another humble touch of Australiana to his growing catalogue.
The sixth single from ‘I Call It Magic When I’m With You’, ‘This Life’ explores the feeling of unwavering love and finding your home within a person, no matter the location. A true devotion to life with a loved one, the track pairs emotional vulnerability with fluttering guitar tones and joyous trap-country elements, while its lyrics pay subtle homage to Australia's diverse landscapes and the love that can be found within them.
Exuding sincerity at every turn, the feel-good country song radiates the all-encompassing feeling of familiarity and excitement for the road ahead, regardless of the destination. As though the keys to the future have been handed to him through the eyes of another, James Keith explains:
“[‘This Life’ is] a song about love, gratitude and making the most of every moment together, because life really is better when you've got the right person beside you.”
Driven by warm guitar tones, delicate moments, tender danceability, and a singalong chorus, this uplifting country-pop track captures excitement and heartfelt devotion through a fresh country sound.
‘This Life’ is out Friday, July 24, serving as the final preview of James Keith's upcoming sophomore album, ‘I Call It Magic When I’m With You’, due for release on October 9.
