The song was written for Billy Preston in 1969, but Harrison decided not to ask Preston to record the song during his "funky" phase, seeing the song as too much of a "catchy pop tune". The song was co-produced by George Harrison and Phil Spector, who also produced the rest of the All Things Must Pass album. An instrumental outtake version of the song appears on the 2001 re-release of All Things Must Pass. Featuring a piccolo trumpet and oboe, it was discarded because Harrison "didn't like the feel". In 2010, AOL radio listeners chose "What Is Life" as one of the 10 Best George Harrison Songs, appearing at #3 on the list.
  • What Is Life è una canzone di George Harrison, secondo singolo estratto dall'album All Things Must Pass, per il mercato statunitense. Esso fa seguito al fortunato My Sweet Lord. Per la registrazione, Harrison si servì di un personale di musicisti prevalentemente britannici, molti dei quali già avviati con successo alla carriera musicale. Originariamente pensata per Billy Preston, è stata prodotta da George Harrison e Phil Spector, come del resto tutto l'album All Things Must Pass, di cui apre la facciata B del primo disco.

  • «What Is Life» — песня Джорджа Харрисона, вышедшая на альбоме «All Things Must Pass». 15 февраля 1971 года была издана в США в виде сингла (второго сингла после хита «My Sweet Lord») вместе с треком «Apple Scruffs» на стороне «Б». 27 марта сингл «What Is Life» достиг своей наивысшей, 10-й позиции в Billboard Hot 100, сделав Харрисона первым битлом с двумя сольными композициями, попавшими в 10-ку этого чарта. Харрисон изначально написал «What Is Life» в 1969 году для Билли Престона, но затем решил, что она была для Престона слишком попсовой. Продюсерами песни был сам Харрисон и Фил Спектор, также спродюсировавший «My Sweet Lord». В записи песни приняли участие музыканты «Badfinger» Пит Хэм, Джой Молланд, Том Эванс, а также Эрик Клэптон. Композиция «What Is Life» вошла в саундтреки таких фильмов, как «Славные парни», «Далеко идём», «Большой папа» и «Целитель Адамс».
