"Fly Life" (often stylized as "Flylife") is a song by English electronic dance music duo Basement Jaxx from their fourth extended play called EP3, released in 1996. The track was largely based on the 1996 single "Live Your Life with Me", which they produced for vocalist Corrina Joseph, their collaborator since 1995 in order to make "proper songs."

It was re-released as a single by Multiply Records on May 19, 1997 with a new mix, featuring added vocals from British reggae artist Glamma Kid. It later went to become Basement Jaxx's first charting single in the United Kingdom by reaching in UK Singles Chart's top 20. Granted moderate success commercially, critically, the song also received very positive reviews from music critics, the ones who highlighted the fusion of the many genres of the track and its handful production.

The song was later included on two compilations from the duo: Atlantic Jaxx Recordings: A Compilation in 1997 and The Singles in 2005 and on various DJ sets, including Daft Punk and Fatboy Slim.

In 1995, Virgin Records picked up and distributed Basement Jaxx's first single "Samba Magic". At the time, they've also moved their studio out of the basement to a place in Camberwell and started their writing there. After spending times remixing for Pet Shop Boys, Roger Sanchez, and Lil' Mo' Yin Yang, they released their fourth extended play called EP3. A track from it, "Fly Life", is a house song with ragga, disco, proto-punk and UK garage influences. Its basis was "Live Your Life with Me", a single originally performed by vocalist Corrina Joseph in 1998, the singer whom they had been working with since the release of EP2 (1995) for their first attempts at making "proper songs." The duo's re-work of "Live Your Life with Me" has been added "euphoric synth" and "filtered brass stabs" with long-winded air horn throughout. Generally, Charles Aaron from Spin described the track as a "blaxploitation dubby." while Resident Advisor described it as "a more idiosyncratic, homegrown sound emerged in the edge-of-panic squeal."
