"'Let Me Live My Life' definitely stands out as one of my favourites. That is a song about people dragging me down and me asking them to let me go. It definitely hits home for me."[4]

Gontier also said that it is one of his favorite songs to play live stating, "It is a lot of fun, and it has that bouncy feel to it."[5]

Reception

Chad Childers of Loudwire stated, "The track gets going Corey Lowery's bass licks before giving way to a swinging drum and guitar combination from Rich Beddoe and Mike Mushok before Adam Gontier's vocals kick in. As for the lyrical content, it's a gut punch of a song."[2] The song has amassed over 10 million streams on Spotify.[8]
