Just months shy of her 15th birthday, the young country singer delivered a vocal performance far beyond her years. Although the song faced unusual competition upon its release, it ultimately became one of the biggest crossover hits in music history and is now recognized as one of Billboard's greatest songs of all time.
"I was actually in a restaurant, and [songwriter] Diane [Warren] came up to me and said, 'I have the song,'" Rimes told Smooth Radio years later. "I ended up back up at her studio that night and recorded these three demos, and she was trying to pitch that song, or she had pitched it for [the movie] Con Air."
"No harm, no foul! [My version] became huge," Rimes continued.It was one of those things that just, it worked out the way it was supposed to."
Its chart legacy has endured for decades.
The recording also transformed Rimes into an international superstar.
"When 'How Do I Live' crossed over into the Top 40 and was a huge success… I think people thought I was leaving country music, and that wasn’t the case," Rimes told Vice. "I kind of feel like I got pushed out in a lot of ways. So we had that success with that song, 'I Need You,' and 'You Light Up My Life,' and we were feeling out that territory for actually making a record that way. But I think it was a natural progression and a natural experimentation… I mean I started so young that I had to experiment! I would have been a real boring artist if I didn't. I'm glad I dabbled in everything."
