Dear Life is the fifth studio album recorded by Canadian country music duo High Valley and the group's debut major-label release. It was released on November 18, 2016 through Atlantic Records and Warner Music Nashville. The American track listing for the album features two tracks from the duo's previous album, County Line (2014), in place of two of the newly recorded songs, notably removing the Canadian lead single, "Every Week's Got a Friday" in favour of "Make You Mine".

They experienced a commercial breakthrough with the record, landing six consecutive singles in the top 10 on Canadian country radio from 2014 through 2016 and earning three Gold-certified singles from Music Canada. In October 2015, High Valley signed a record deal with Atlantic Records and Warner Music Nashville. They soon began working on new music for their major-label debut, and had recorded seven of the songs that would make the album's final track listing by May 2016.
