The album was titled M'Lady in the United Kingdom.
Unlike
its predecessor, Dance to the Music, Life was not a commercial success,
although it has received mostly positive reviews from music critics
over the years. Many of its songs, including "M'Lady", "Fun", "Love
City", as well as the title track, became popular staples in the Family
Stone's live show. A middle ground between the fiery A Whole New Thing
and the more commercial Dance to the Music, Life features very little
use of studio effects, and is instead more driven by frontman Sly
Stone's compositions. Topics for the album's songs include the dating
scene ("Dynamite!", "Chicken", "M'Lady"), groupies ("Jane is a
Groupee"), and "plastic" (or "fake") people (the Beatlesque "Plastic
Jim", which references "Eleanor Rigby" in its chorus). Of particular
note is that the Family Stone's main themes of unity and integration are
explored here in several songs ("Fun", "Harmony", "Life", and "Love
City"). The next Family Stone LP, Stand!, would focus almost exclusively
on these topics.
Much of Life has been heavily sampled for hip hop
and electronica recordings, particularly Gregg Errico's drum solo on
"Love City". The opening riff on "Into My Own Thing" was sampled for
Fatboy Slim's 2001 hit "Weapon of Choice".
