Songfacts®:

  • "All My Life" is a collaboration between Falling in Reverse and redneck renegade Jelly Roll. Frontman Ronnie Radke, ever the champion of middle fingers raised high, throws down lyrics with his signature blend of snarling vocals and fist-pumping choruses. Jelly Roll counters with his Southern-fried swagger, weaving tales of hard times and redemption over twangy guitars that wouldn't sound out of place on a dusty backroad.
  • "All My Life" lays bare the harsh realities of battling demons, the ups and downs of life, and the fool's gold of chasing love in all the wrong places. It's a raw confession shared by two artists who, despite their different musical backgrounds, find a common ground in their shared struggles and rebellious spirits.
  • Radke and Jelly Roll co-wrote this sonic shotgun wedding with Tyler "Myth" Smyth of Dangerkids, Wage War's Cody Quistad, and singer/rapper Jeris Johnson. Rounding out the crew is French producer Charles Massabo, who co-helmed the song with Radke and Smyth.

    Radke, Smyth, Quistad and Massabo all contributed to the writing of Falling In Reverse's 2023 single "Watch The World Burn."
  • Los Angeles director Jensen Noen cooks up a Wild West shootout for the video, with a heaping helping of absurdity. Radke ditches the eyeliner for a halo (because, why not?) and plays a cowboy angel swooping into a dusty Old West town. His mission? Free his partner-in-crime, played by Jelly Roll, from the clutches of the villainous sheriff – none other than YouTuber Blaire White! There are bar brawls, shootouts, and enough line dancing during the breakdown to make even the stiffest moshers loosen their boots.

    Jensen Noen is a Falling In Reverse veteran, having previously directed nine of their videos, including "Popular Monster," "Zombified" and "Watch The World Burn."
