History of How Do I Live:
"How Do I Live" is a 1997 song, written by Diane Warren, that was released originally by LeAnn Rimes, and shortly afterward by Trisha Yearwood.

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 and appeared in the film. When Rimes heard of the release, she quickly released her version.

Despite only peaking 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. It set a record for staying on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for sixty-nine weeks. The song entered the Top 25 US Country singles chart on June 21, 1997 and was still there in February 2003, a record 291 weeks (five and half years) later.

How Do I Live was covered by F.I.R. (Faye and Real featuring LeAnn Rimes). F.I.R. invited Rimes to record a portion of the song for their third album Flight Tribe in 2006.

The song has also been performed on the hit show American Idol, Vonzell Solomon in Season 4, Paris Bennett in Season 5, and Meosha Denton in Season 2. It was also part of American Idol Season 2 compilation, sung by Carmen Rasmusen.

Rimes' version ranks at #4 on Billboard's All Time Top 100. The single has been certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over 3 million copies in the United States. On the digital front, it routinely shifts more than 1,000 units per week, for a to-date total in excess of 203,000.

Whatever age LeAnn was when she first recorded this, I would suggest, do a comparison.
Listen to the 'first' performance when she was quite young.
Then, scoot forward to any of her latest performances of this song.
This stunning singer just gets better and better as she matures, both life experience wise, and performing quality.
LeAnn Rimes is an Immortal in training.
We that were around in her 'formative' years can but count ourselves twice blessed.
