Love You to Life

Background

The song, written by Grace Jones, Bruce Woolley and Mark van Eyck, showcases strong reggae influences and includes spoken verses (the only sung part of the track is the chorus). Its lyrics are based on a true story of one of Grace's lovers, who was in a coma for several weeks, only to come around in front of her. His first word was Grace's name. "When their eyes first open and you just magically happen to be there, there's a look in the eye that you'll never forget. Like a birth," said the singer.

"Love You to Life" was the third and final single from Jones' tenth studio album Hurricane. Originally scheduled for release on 30 March 2009, it would however be postponed for more than a year, finally being released in May 2010.

Music video

The music video for "Love You to Life" was directed by Chris Levine and Why Not Associates, and drew inspiration from an Irish milliner Philip Treacy and "real life magic". Its launch was announced for May/June 2010. The video was the subject of an exhibition Grace Jones by Chris Levine: Stillness at the Speed of Light at The Vinyl Factory in Soho, London. The exhibition ran from 30 April to 13 May 2010.
