"Life Itself" comes from How to Be a Human Being, the 2016 album from Glass Animals, and Dave Bayley wrote it with Tariq Tafo. Matt Wiggins engineered and mixed it, and the result is a woozy, rubber-limbed groove, all bent melodies and fidgety rhythm, that sounds like indie pop after a long night spent with a stack of hip-hop records.
