This is the second single by hip hop band Gym Class Heroes, off their fifth studio album, The Papercut Chronicles II. It finds frontman Travie McCoy getting all reflective as he spits verses about dealing with what life throws at you and moving on from the hard times, because "life goes on." The single was released on October 18, 2011 via iTunes.
The song features the Danish Electro-Pop singer-songwriter Oh Land crooning the chorus. Oh Land was born Nanna Øland Fabricius and she decided to adopt a music career after an injury forced her to give up ballet dancing. Her debut album, Fauna was released in Denmark on November 10, 2008. She worked with producers Dan Carey, Dave McCracken and Pharrell Williams for her self-titled follow-up, which was released on March 15, 2011 in the US peaking at #184 on the Billboard 200.
Fun Fact: Oh Land is the great-great-grandchild of missionary and ethnographer Otto Fabricius, who in 1780 published Fauna Groenlandica, the first zoological observations of Greenland.
