.Diane_Warren looks back on the making of LeAnn Rimes' historic Hot100 hit 'How Do I Live'
-- that has made the biggest impact on the charts. Despite peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100, Rimes’ version is still the longest-running song by a female artist on the chart, with 69 weeks.
“Diane really hit the co-dependency nerve of our society with ‘How Do I Live’ -- it’s played at weddings, funerals and just about every pivotal life-altering moment,” says Rimes. “There’s magic to great songwriters, their heartfelt lyrics and the right voice that soulfully delivers that message and we seem to have been the perfect storm. I loved it from the very moment Diane played it for me.”After LeAnn won the best new artist Grammy [in 1996], I ran into her at a restaurant.
Even though LeAnn came from the country world, I figured she had a better shot at crossing over into pop, and my prediction was right. She’s one of the most underrated singers in music. Trisha had a massive career and a Grammy-winning country hit because of it, but LeAnn’s version exploded. It was everywhere.
Trisha and LeAnn recorded them in the same key, too, so there were all these cool mash-ups. They split up territories around the world: Trisha’s was a big hit in Australia and peaked at No. 2 on in the U.S., while LeAnn had the pop hit here. Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” kept it from reaching the top, so the biggest song ever by a female artist innever went to No. 1. Numbers aren’t everything, though. I love writing the emotional ones, what can I say? I’m a song sadist: I like to rip your heart out and make you cry.
