Background

"It's Your Life" was released as the third single from her debut studio album, My Paper Heart, on August 1, 2009. Battistelli sings on this song that "The world is watching you." She told NewReleaseToday in a 2011 interview, "There are always people looking to see if I'm behaving like a good Christian. It's something that I've learned sometimes the hard way. It's something that you have to consciously be aware of, and I think as someone in the limelight, it's more pronounced. But it's a good lesson for believers everywhere that we're not supposed to be one person in that church and another person ticked off behind the counter at the airport or in traffic. We're supposed to live life to honor and glorify God. And I'm no expert at it, but it's something that He's constantly reminding me of and teaching me, and I think it's something that you have to keep learning."[7]

On November 23, 2009, Battistelli's song, "It's Your Life", was featured on the series finale of Jon & Kate Plus 8 and The Biggest Loser, the same day that "It's Your Life", featuring all of the singles, was released on iTunes US.[8] "It's Your Life" was also used in the film Soul Surfer.
