The title track of Dido's sophomore album, this was released as its second single with some success reaching the Top 10 in the UK, Ireland and Italy.
According to Dido, the meaning of "Life For Rent" is "that my life isn't really my own, I only rented it for a while, but if I don't manage to buy it, to own it, then nothing of what I think is mine is really mine."
The song was used to soundtrack pivotal moments in US TV series Smallville ("Unsafe" - 2005) and Nikita ("Free" - 2011).
