This song was inspired by a moment of recognition that when the bad stuff happens in life the positive things are still there. "I was at home, looking out at the ocean, and I said to myself, 'Here I am stuck in this past of negativity, but it's so beautiful out. I'm not in the mood to write a feeling-sorry-for-myself song,'" Shania Twain recalled of the track's inspiration. "You can't have the good without the bad. And that's what the song ended up being about."
The song was released as the lead single from Twain's first new album in 15 years. She debuted the tune during her headlining set at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, California on April 29, 2017.
This soundtracks NBC's commercial advertising their coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics. "We're always looking for a great piece of music to help tell the story," NBC Sports chief marketing officer Jenny Storms told Variety. "Especially when it's the Olympics, you have an opportunity to tell a great story. This piece of music, 'Life's About to Get Good,' speaks so perfectly to what we're talking about."
